Women's Institute
Garden Meeting at Longmead
The monthly meeting of the Buntingford Women's Institute took the form of an "At Home" at Londmead on Wednesday afternoon.
Fortunately fine weather prevailed, and there was a large number present. Before tea, which was provided by the President (Mrs H.C. Marshall) and the Vice-Presidents (Mrs H.H. Williams and Mrs Fell), the members enjoyed a walk round the grounds.
There was a sale stall in charge of Mrs Coleman and Mrs May and a nail-driving competition. The flower competition was won by Mrs C. Bolton, of Wyddiall, who brought a beautiful bouquet. The caning competition was won by Mrs J. Aylott, the same member winning the tray competition.
The President read the financial statement in connection with the Whit-Monday Fete, the particulars of which are given in another column. The statement was considered most satisfactory, and the President said that thanks were due to all those who had helped to make the event such a complete success.
The dramatic section of the Institute presented a scene from Shakespeare's "As you like it." This was performed at the W.I. dramatic competitions at Hertford on Saturday last, when the Buntingford Institute gained fifth place.
Those taking part were as follows:
Mrs Scarborough Taylor - Amiens
Mrs Armstrong - Jaques
Mrs J. Aylott - Sytrius
Mrs S. Smith - Covin.
Miss Ward - Touchstone
Miss Aylott - Roslyn
Miss K. Camp - Celia
Mrs C Totman - Forester
Mrs Rand - Forester
Miss Camp - Forester.
