THE August meeting of Ledbury WI was held on a showery afternoon which did not deter the enthusiastic members from bringing their entries for theCraft/Produce event.

The members were greeted by the President and committee who had laid out tables in readiness for the exhibits.

Every member received a point for each category entered then extra points were given if you came first, second or third. Three members had been invited from Bosbury WI to come for tea and be the Judges.

There was little business to discus as Federation Office is closed in August - so no newsletter. The members who had participated in the Federation trip to Packwood House and Baddersley Clinton in July informed everyone what an enjoyable day it was, but a little too hot for some ladies. The President Margaret Coulson reminded members of the forth coming events in Cradley, Bosbury and the Baton afternoon tea in Lower Hope Gardens where everyone is welcome. Also the writers, craft/sewing and luncheon clubs will not be meeting in August.

Refreshments where then served by the committee with scrumptious tray bakes courtesy of Jo the Treasurer who members were all delighted to see again after a long absence recovering from her last knee op.

The long awaited results were then announced. The member with the most points was Mary Stuart, closely followed by Marilyn Dewe and Jenny Treasure was third.

The next meeting is 7.30pm on September 10 at the Parish Room, Catholic Church, New Street, Ledbury. A member from the Ledbury Food Group will be the speaker.

Visitors are always most welcome.
