was formed making Joan older than the branch she belongs to.
September Report. Having broken her right wrist Jean Featherstone's role has been
taken over by Jane Anderton who writes-
Houghton WI met on 15th September, when members were treated to a talk
and demomstration by the very experienced tutor May Martin. May has been a tutor in soft furnishing,dress making and craft
for many years, and she teaches at the WI's Denham College and Peter Simonds in Winchester, as well as classes elsewhere.
May gave members a fascinating talk on ways of using up odds and ends of soft furnishing materials, and demonstrated how to
make a wide variety of bages, boxes, cushion covers and table runners, as well as various small gifts. Her enthusiasm was
infectious and members left with lots of ideas for projects to do at home.
Next Meeting- October 20th.
Speaker will be Sarah
George on Physiotherapy.
