12 Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, October 21 st, 2004 GRINDLETON


Annual meeting In the absence of presi- . dent Mrs Kay Hop- kinson, who was on a course a t Denman College, Oxfordshire, Mrs Catherine Tay­ lor conducted the ACM of Grindleton WI. She welcomed members and tellers, Mrs Edna Jackson and Mrs Nina Healey, of Rimington WI.


Business for the month - included activities and events organised by the LFWI. Three members attended a rag-rug course, while Mrs Hopkinson, Mrs Cynthia Openshaw and Mrs Taylor enjoyed the LFWI autumn council meet­ ing in Lancaster. Guest speaker was Mr Norman Willis, former general secre­ tary of the TUG, who entertained the meet­ ing with amusing anecdotes from his political career and his involvement \vith the WI, doing cross- stitch and baking car­ rot cakes. Grindleton members were delighted when Mrs Openshaw’s name was drawn in the Denman Dip, the prize being a bursary to Denman College for a course of her choice.


As well as being the 90th anniversary of the national federa­ tion, 2005 will be the 85th anniversary of the Lancashire feder­ ation. A brand new rose, “Celebration”, has been bred by Fryer’s Roses and is available to members


j at a cost of £7. Sever- I al exciting events are being organised to mark the special year.


Mrs Mandy Brennan is arranging a trip to the show “South Pacific” at Preston on Novem­ ber 10th, and a list was circulated for those wishing to go to “My Fair Lady” at Clitheroe Parish Church Hall in February.


November will be a very memorable month for Grindleton WI when the most senior member, Mrs Annie Slater, will be celebrating her 100th birthday and Mrs Greta Moir, who was a member for many years, her 90th. Grindleton WI's birthday falls in November and a party will be held at the Spread Eagle Hotel, Sawley, on the 11th, at 6-45 for 7 p.m.


Mrs Taylor read the president’s report, written by Mrs Hop­ kinson, in which she outlined the events which had been spe­ cial for her. These included Mrs Slater being awarded the Standfast Trophy by the LFWI for service to the community, Mrs Anne Marshall’s 90th birthday at the Haworth Art Gallery and the rag-rug course. She thanked all the committee members for their great


throughout the year.


Mrs Sally Dowds, who is retiring from the committee, was thanked for all the hard work as vice- president. Mrs Caro­ line Wiltshaw was welcomed as a new committee member. Mrs Taylor thanked the president in her absence for another wonderful year packed \vith interest fun and friendship. She also thanked the tellers for their duties.


Officers elected were: Mrs Hopkinson (pres­ ident), Mrs Judy Cowling and Mrs Openshaw (secre­ taries), Mrs Liz Rowntree (treasurer).


Everyone enjoyed a pie and peas supper.
