At the January meeting of the Alwington WI, the President (Mrs N Westaway) welcomed the Misses M Allin, J Becklake and M Pickard as new members.

Final arrangements were made for the birthday party in February.
Names were taken of members able to accept the invitation to the Dolton and Dowland WI party in March. An unusual and interesting talk on ‘Witchcraft’ was given by Mr Ian Kelway, of the County Education Dept. Mrs Allin thanked the speaker on behalf of the members. Tea hostesses were Mrs Kistenmacker and Mrs Taylor.
The competition – six ginger biscuits – was judged by Miss Farleigh, of the SW Electricity Board staff. Competition winners were Mrs Lewis, Mrs Westaway, Miss K Boundy. The first two will be entering biscuits in the group meeting completion in April.
