Reports
Women’s Institute July meeting.We had almost a full house in July with 8 visitors and 3 member’s guests. Everyone had come along to a talk on the growing and care of Fuchsias which was given by Frank Lambert, accompanied by his wife who said that she doesn’t see much of him when he is busy working in his greenhouses. Frank has an absolute passion for the flowers and grows his blooms for display and has won an extraordinary amount of cups and rosettes, including the Best in Show at this year’s Norfolk Show. He had brought along a lot of his “plants” and one corner of the hall was filled with pots of them.He told us that there are ten and a half different sorts registered in the UK and showed slides of those in his garden and his prize-winning entries. Some of them were enormous, like bushes, with hundreds of blooms on. He demonstrated how to cut back for better growth the following year. He then invited questions regarding growing and caring for them. Afterwards he was thanked by Olive Gibson and given a hearty round of applause for his achievements. Frank went on to judge the competition which was for 3 plants from our gardens and it was won by Liz Dorsett, Jill Betz and Sandy Blackman.One of my favourites was a large yellow lily submitted by Olive with at least 4 blooms on the head, beautiful.Jill was given a posy for her birthday which is next month but we don’t have a meeting in August.After refreshments, Pat Hewett read out the report by Pat Briggs of Mundesley WI who was our representative at the AGM at the Royal Albert Hall. The resolution that all WI’s had voted on concerning the closure of community hospitals received 6,461 for and just 65 against. Not that it will probably make a difference but we have to let the powers that be know that we are strongly against any closures. There is no meeting in August but when we resume on September 12th at 7.30 pm the guest speaker will be Jeanne Heal on the subject of “caring for the carers”. Geraldine761528Roughton & District Women’s Institute June meetingWe had a fun evening this month with 12 members and 3 guests. After coffee, the business was dealt with including the minutes from May, and correspondence. Flowers were given to Olive for her birthday. There was also a posy for June but unfortunately she was unable to attend due to having suffered a slight stroke the week before. It was nice as well to see Pat who has been recovering from quite a large operation.Mary and Sandy took part in a Norfolk W.I knock-out bowls competition which was won by Thetford. The ladies who went to see “Annie” at the pier theatre had a thoroughly enjoyable time and said that it was the best they had ever seen ( my favourite was Mac and Mabel a few years ago ) Thanks go to Olive for arranging the trip. The competition this month was for a portion of a pudding and everyone entered. We all had a taste of each one and then voted on our favourite. They were all yummy but Maureen came first with her Summer Pudding, Olive’s Banana and Walnut Cream was second and third was Gill with an Eton Mess. After the washing up we had a kind of “think tank” whereby we discussed what subjects we would like to hear about from the guest speakers next year, and the places we would like to visit. It was very useful everyone having their say and putting forward different views. Usually it’s the committee who come up with the ideas but there are only so many things they can come up with so the general discussion was most helpful. We have almost filled the calendar for 2008.
Next month the guest speaker will be Mr. Frank Lambert who will talk about growing Fuchsias which has got the gardeners amongst us quite excited. It is open to anyone who is interested in these beautiful flowers. The cost to visitors is £2.60 per ticket which includes refreshments. Do come along if you like flowers. The evening starts at 7.30 pm in the village hall on Wednesday 11th July. Geraldine 01263 761528
The Beekeeping talk by Don Cooper on 29th May was well attended and enjoyed.
It proved to be a long evening but of great interest. Don took us through
his life in the beekeeping world and brought a few memories back to several
people in the hall, and even had a few ask to begin beekeeping themselves so
it was all worthwhile.
The Hamper of honey and beeswax products was won by Mrs. Hammond and the
evening raised £124.60 for Village Hall funds.
ANSWERS TO THE ROUGHTON VILLAGE HALL FLOWER QUIZ
Thanks to everyone who bought a quiz sheet and to the ten who returned them. I have had several people tell me that the quiz was quite difficult, but the returns showed correct answers of between 52 and 68 out of 72.
The tied winners were Mrs. P. Cox of Burton Latimer, Northants. and Mr. Ted Walker of Felbrigg. Two flowers seemed to catch participants out – they were nos. 42 and 68.
£35.50 was raised for the Village Hall funds – and watch for the next quiz when I get around to it – I have been asked to do one on fruit and vegetables and boys and girls names – these need a little more thought!
