THE meeting on May 14 was opened by Moira Duncan, standing in for president Cath Blackwell.

Members and guests were welcomed and apologies given from members unable to attend.

The Annual Ledbury Group Meeting was also mentioned with an invitation from Mathon WI, which is holding this event on July 18 and will include a supper and entertainment.

Members were then advised that the speaker for the evening was unable to attend but fortunately one of the members, Mary Kenwright, was willing to fill the slot at very short notice.

After refreshments everyone gathered round and Mary took members on a trip to China which is just one of many destinations she has travelled to but it stood out as a favourite.

She passed lots of photographs around, the Great Wall and the Terracotta Warriors being only a flavour of many.

The next meeting of Colwall WI will be tonight in the village hall at 7pm and the speaker is Chris Kirk on the important topic of Bees. There is also a raffle and sales table at this meeting. For further information, contact Cath on 01684 540020 or Moira on 01684 541791.
