Westmill
Christmas Party
The Westmill Women's Institute had a very successful Christmas Party on Wednesday evening, 29th December.
The Village Hall was looking very festive, being decorated with holly and other evergreens.
In a corner on a table stood a little Christmas tree, round which bright coloured candles were burining.
A gay march was played as the guests entered at 7 o'clock, and then all joined in the Women's Institute song, "England."
During the evening there were musical solos, games and recitations, and carols sung by the members.
A sketch, called "The Allotment," was acted by Mrs Guinness and her sister, Mrs Barclay. It was most amusing, and peals of laughter from the audience showed how much it was enjoyed.
One quite forgot that Christmas was really over, for a true Christmas spirit seemed present, while crackers went off and mince pies were handed round.
There were about 90 people there, counting the children, whose unself-conscious charm helped to make the gathering cheerful and informal.
At the end of the party Mrs Deacon, who has been a most successful and untiring president, handed her badge to Mrs Guinness, the new president.
All felt very grateful to Mrs Deacon for what she had done, and welcome Mrs Guinness.
