Women's Institute

The monthly meeting was held in the school on December 8th.

Besides the ordinary Women's Institute business, the treasurer and secretary put their annual reports before the members, both being passed with hearty applause.

Voting for the 1927 Committee was carried out, and Mrs C.R. Turney (always a welcome visitor) with Mrs Kingsley kindly acted as tellers. Miss N. Pigg and Mrs Morris were again re-elected president and vice-president respectively.

Miss Coleman needed no introduction, having been to this Institute before, and her subject, "Icing a cake," proved very interesting, and Mrs Hill moved a vote of thanks to her on behalf of those present.

Two competitions, "Best bowl in papier mache," "Best darned sock," were won by Miss N. Carter and Mrs F. Pigg.

Miss G. Pigg, Mrs Mildren, Mrs F. Pigg, Mrs Stoton sen., Mrs Shepherd and Miss P. Malyon were hostesses for tea.

Recitations were given by Mrs Morris, Miss P. Morris, and Miss G. Gilby, with songs from Mrs Stoton and Mrs C. Jackson were much appreciated.

The April monthly meeting was again well attended in the school on the 14th inst. at 6.30 p.m.

The business having been gone through, Mrs Vernede gave a perfectly clear and interesting talk on "Her Travels in America." A very hearty clap was accorded her by the members to show how very much they had appreciated her kindess in coming over from Standon to thus address them.

Tea was served by the following hostesses - Miss F. Pigg, Mesdames Coxall, Jackson, Jarman, Young, and Miss L. Malyon.

Games and dancing were next indulged in, and a very happy meeting closed with the singing of God Save the King.

The two whist drives held recently in aid of the members' summer outing met with very good results, £11 7s. 6d. having been cleared for that purpose.
