AFTER discussion about this year's WI resolution - in support of Mental Health Matters Holmer WI had their own in-house Cookery Corner.

They had all tightened their belts significantly during the day, in anticipation of the culinary delights to come and weren't disappointed!

Mary Burgess made the Greek dish Yvezzi; Talia Wheeler prepared cheese biscuits; Joyce Crosier made treacle bread and palmiers; Christine Cooper rustled up some cheese scones; Maureen Graver cooked some tomato and mozzarella puffs; Sue Howells made some Cypriot almond biscuits; Margaret Powell prepared a boiled fruit cake, which was cooked using an old family recipe; Jackie Hancock made a scintillating range of sweets which included Turkish delight and marshmallows; Jane Jenkins made tangy lemon pots; Margaret Jones prepared a treacle tart and Sue Patmore cooked some sourdough bread.

As well as the food, there were samples to take home and recipes to try later. A truly mouthwatering evening, further complemented by a beautifully iced birthday cake made by France's Riddell, commemorating Holmer WI's 77th birthday.

Many members and friends recently marked the occasion with a Sunday lunch at Burghill golf club. In addition, each member has been given a special pen as a memento.

Holmer WI next meet on Wednesday, June 6 at 7.30pm at St Mary's Church, Grandstand Road. Georgia Milan will talk about her work as a vet. Holmer WI continues to welcome new members of all ages and continues to grow. If you're interested in an enjoyable evening out you will be made welcome.
