PEACEHAVEN WI: In spite of the terrible weather, members braved the wind and rain to attend the May meeting. The president suggested a visit to the ever popular, lovely gardens of Driftwood in Bishopstone, in June, to which we agreed. This years Resolution to be put forward to the National Federation of WI’s Annual Meeting at Cardiff next month was discussed and a questionnaires handed round, the result would be given to our delegate who will be attending the meeting on our behalf.

The afternoon was continued with a Dingbat Quiz, collated by the president, which really got our little grey cells working and was enjoyed by everyone.

Our next get-together will be on June 6 and we hope to see you there. (Joy Allen).
