Epworth and District Flower Club

In April the members met for a workshop evening. Almost all of the membership was in attendance to watch the demonstrator, Sarah, create an Easter display. After only a few minutes Sarah had used tulips, narcissi, various greenery, roses and carnations of varying shades of lemon and yellow and a wreath was made to be used as a table arrangement! It was completed with a few imitation eggs on sticks and a small container of chocolate eggs. Next it was the turn of the members. Absolutely everything was provided and the ladies worked hard with a constant pleasurable buzz. Eventually 32 arrangements were made, all slightly reflecting the ability and personality of each member. Some had tall roses and tulips, some had cut their flowers shorter but every one was beautiful. Some were left to decorate St Andrew’s Church for Easter.

The evening concluded as usual with refreshments. The May meeting was planned to welcome Lucy Griffin from Retford and the June meeting, to be held on 12th June in St Andrew’s Church will host Sue Hodgson who will demonstrate “Super Sleuths”. Come and join us, we are growing fast, and discover what the sleuths are!

Linda Clarke of Spotted Dog Flowers will demonstrate in July at the usual time of 7.30pm and the usual night, the second Monday of the month.

Crowle & District WI meet at 7.15pm on the 1st Thursday of the month at Crowle Community Hub, Market Hall, Crowle DN17 4LA. We have members from all over North and South Axhome and beyond and always give a warm welcome to new members. Our April meeting was a very interesting talk by Hannah, the District Herbalist and our May meeting was a Cheese & Wine themed evening to coincide with the Kings Coronation. Our June meeting will be Stuart Garfoot talking and demonstrating Canal Art and he will bring items to sell. We will also be able to have a go ourselves. Come along to any of our meetings and give us a go, we are very friendly.

High Levels WI

The members of High Levels WI met on Wednesday 19th April, paid their annual subscriptions and were welcomed to the meeting. Following the usual rendering of Jerusalem and a small amount of business the entertainment began. Six members of a South Yorkshire Belly Dance Troupe performed some dances and then invited members to join in. They explained the routines, their involvement and the health benefits. Questions produced a lot of information about the ladies themselves, to whom and where they were asked to entertain. It was certainly an enjoyable and informative evening. In June, some members have chosen to have afternoon tea at Crowle Moors Railway. This follows the talk by Angus Townley on the History of Crowle moors. The evening meeting on June 21st will host a speaker who will talk about Mary’s Meals. This is a charity which aims to provide a daily meal for every child in its place of education. High Levels WI is a friendly group of ladies who meet at the Reindeer Inn, Sandtoft on the third Wednesday of each month. The meetings begin at 6.45pm. Do come and join us and/or look at our website www.highlevelswi.co.uk
