THE meeting of the Evesham Vale WI on Tuesday August 8 welcomed three new members. It opened with an interesting presentation from the Tenbury Wells Speakers Monica and Rosie about their heritage collection of crafts which was warmly received by all members. Carole Visor was thanked for her help in organising refreshments for the relay for life event held at the Demontfort High School.

Future events include a special open WI meeting on October 10 with a talk about Croome Park history and links with the WI from Joe Tierney. All other WI's are invited. A bursary 'Behind the scenes' visit to The RSC theatre at Stratford will take place on October 11.

Members are reminded of the coffee mornings held every Tuesday at 10.30am at the Amber Cafe, High street. All are welcome.

Evesham Vale WI is now on Facebook. Next meeting is September 12, Evesham History with Stan Brotherton.
