Buckland
Women's Institute
The monthly meeting was again held in the school on Wednesday, May 12th, at 6.30 p.m. The members again made a good attendance, this time to enjoy the bountiful tea given by Mrs E.T. Morris, of the Bury. The hostess, with Miss P. Morris, made all feel thoroughly at home, and a very happy time was spent.
Business being over, Mrs Stapley, of Buntingford, gave a really useful demonstration in the cutting out and putting together of a dress. Mrs J. Hurry made a very good model, and it proved a very happy, yet useful, time.
Both ladies were thanked for their services, as was also Mrs G. Turney, who so kindly judged the bun competition. This proved a rather difficult task, as the judge herself said, but to everyone's satisfaction, Mrs Young, Mrs Jarman, and Mrs A. Jackson came out on top.
Voting for the summer outing took place, and "Felixstowe" won.
Whist was played, and Mrs Morris kindly acted as M.C. It was found Miss E. Coxall had gained highest number; Mrs H. Geaves lowest. Prizes were generously given by Mrs Morris.
Before closing the meeting, Mrs T. Hurry heartily thanked Mrs and Miss Morris for so kindly giving such a splendid tea, and this was carried with applause. The meeting ended by all joining in singing God Save the King.
