NEWS FROM YOUR LOCAL GROUPS

Friday Friends

At the May meeting Alison and Cyril Fifield are going to tell us something about their recent trip to the Chatham Islands. The next few months have not yet been confirmed so it is just ‘come along and see’. We meet at 2 p.m. in Tosswill Lounge at All Saints Church, Blakes Road on the last Friday of each month. Everyone is welcome to attend – no membership fee, you can just turn up when you are able. We do run raffles to cover costs.

For more information, please contact Daphne McAven 349 – 8886

Prebbleton Women’s Institute.

Our Prebbleton branch is thrilled to have members of the Oaklands Institute join us as their numbers have declined. It has been a boost to have the extra members and the exchange of even more ideas. At our last meeting we had a demonstration of air frying which was new to many of us and we all enjoyed sampling the results!

Our April meeting, which would have been on Anzac Day was postponed for a week and will be our 91st Birthday. A lunch at Racecourse Hotel has been arranged and it will be a chance for us to remember the local women who started the group 91 years ago. One of our latest projects has been knitting incubator vests for use at Starship Hospital. They are tiny and we have enjoying being able to provide them when needed.

We normally meet in the supper room of the Prebbleton Public Hall, 617 Springs Road on the 4th Tuesday of each month but it is probably best to make contact first in case we are having an ‘away day!’. We would love to have you join us. If you would like to know more please contact the Secretary Shirley 322 - 7251 or the publicity officer Daphne 349 - 8886.
