His talk had been preceded by 3 personal reports on the Cheshire Federation's Annual Council Meeting, whilst Ruth Smith had sent a written account of her attendance at Denman College as last year's winner of the Denman draw. She had studied willow weaving and several examples of her work were on display. This year's draw was then made by Dr Newbrook. The winner was Margaret Ashworth, with Valerie Mitchell as runner-up.

Sue Williams pointed out a number of coming events, and gave advance notice of the August 2nd outing to Liverpool, (which is open to the first 25 members, including their friends and families, to apply) and of the Acton Bridge Produce and Craft Show on 6th September. She also encouraged everyone to invite their friends to the next WI meeting, which will be an open, informal meeting, on Tuesday 8 April at 7.30 pm as usual in the Parish Rooms, when Fatma will be talking about (and demonstrating?) Oriental Dance.
