A letter of resignation had been received from Mrs Glenys Whitney, a long-serv ing member and com mittee member. Amongst the reasons given for her resigna tion were the pro posed increase in sub scriptions and the assumption th a t members would wish to have a magazine, Mrs Whitney felt, like many other ladies, that WI mem bers should have been consulted.

WI walk Thirteen members, husbands and friends set off from Down- ham and walked on the footpath to Worston. 'The route took them via Cat Gallows Wood, Long- lands Wood, Warsaw End, Worsaw Wnd Farm and Crow Hill.
Eventually they met up with 17 other members, husbands and friends at the Calf’s Head Hotel in Worston, where everyone enjoyed a soup and sandwich supper.
Hot Pot magazine was won by Mrs Barbara Craven and the com petition for a Caribbean souvenir- was won by Mrs Vivienne Dugmore with Mrs Joan Mot- tershaw, second, and Mrs Marie Devoy, third.

speakers subject - hedgehogs - and were introduced to one called Angel who had had a close encounter with a chainsaw.
Because hedgehogs need their rough prickles to keep out the bad weather he was in the care of Mrs Sue Lewis and her husband, Ken, at their hedgehog hos pital in Rochdale which is the largest in the North West.
The night she visited Gisburn there were 350 in hospital.
The WI learnt tha t the most important requirement for the nocturnal hedgehog is a dish of water, particularly during this dry summer. They also like fruit cake, biscuits, apples and grapes.
A newsletter was given to all members with dates of forthcoming events.
The bridge into the vil lage which has been closed for repairs is now fully open and access to the village is now hack to normal.

The garden par ty starts at 2 p.m., with games for the chil dren, a bouncy castle, barbecue, and a vari ety of stalls.
Bartholomew’s Gar den Party will take place and opposite the Vicarage, the site of the garden party, is the Memorial Hall, where the prestigious annual Horticultural Show will be being held.

The president then introduced the speak er, Mr George Dob son, of Wrea Green, who regaled the meeting with inter esting, humorous sto ries of a holiday cruising in the Caribbean. He kept the audience in stitches with his tales, often referring to his mother who had been a life-long member of Wrea Green WI. Mr Dob son’s stories made many of the audience quite envious and Mrs Devoy and Mrs Mottershaw, who are both planning to cruise in the near future, wished Mr Dobson would be on the same holiday to keep them enter tained. Although, having listened to Mr Dobson, there is plenty of entertain ment available on the cruises as well as love ly food and seeing delightful places.
A brunch was held at the home of Eileen and Jim Parker on Sunday which all members were asked to support. Proceeds were given to Lan cashire member Pat Ascroft who is taking part in the Cycle Cuba Challenge. The challenge group is hoping to raise more than £42,000 for a Denman building project.
A very good reason to encourage the hedge hog is they like to eat slugs, aphids and other garden pests, but not it you use slug pellets, these poison the hedgehog if it eats a contami nated slug. WI mem bers were told to catch slugs in a beer trap - a part-filled can sunk into the ground, leaving just a collar for the slug to climb.
Other forthcoming events include an inter-federation get together on Friday, September 15th; the Autumn Council Meeting at Fleet- wood on Wednesday, October 4th; Lan cashire Day at Alston Hall on Monday, November 27th; LFWI County Show at Garstang, on Thursday, September 28th; LFWI Hal lowe’en Extravagan za at Chipping on Friday, November 3rd; LFWI Burns weekend tour of Aberfoyle, Scotland, Januaiy 26th to 28th.
Mrs Mottershaw thanked Mr Dobson for his marvellous entertaining talk.
The next meeting on September 11th will be a talk and demon
