At the annual meeting of Almeley WI, members congratulated Mrs Jenny Hibbert on being elected president and huge thanks were given to the retiring president Mrs Liz Russell for her splendid, steadfast work over the past four years. The treasurer reported that, due to last months fundraising, we are financially secure at present. The show was well supported and entries were of a high standard. Members received awards for cookery, handicraft and floral creations. Mrs Maureen Hughes arranged it all and Mrs Margaret Whitle organised the judging. The new year begins with a lunch outing on Thursday, January 15, 12.30pm.
