 The W.I.

To be honest and sparing her blushes (wot, Kathleen?), such credit has to go to Kathleen Turner for her inspired guesses at times and the dredging up of almost forgotten facts!  As always, there was no charge to enter a team and the usual excellent raffle prizes brought in a fair sum, added to by the collection made during the evening, so that something like £150 was given to [[Village Hall]] funds.
