End of an era!


I t was a sad day for members of the Bashall Eaves WI when they met with Mrs Marion McDonald, Lan­ cashire TiVI Advisor and Mrs Ann Royle, trainee advisor to discuss suspension. It was felt that this was the only possi­ ble solution to the dwindling member­ ship and the lack of new officers to take oyer the running of the group which was established in 1942. I t was not an easy decision to reach and Mrs McDonald expressed her regret to take this step, but did point out that this suspension was only for three years and the group could be reinstated should c i r c um s t a n c e s change. Founder members were pres­ ent and two trustees were appointed to take care of 'WI property
