The April meeting started by trying something different to improve our singing of Jerusalem which failed miserably.
Thinking caps on again. There was a good turnout for our speaker Gina Merritt-Smith. Visitors included residents of Kenn and some members from Tickenham W.I.
Our speaker Gina, spoke to us about the Elegance of Fashion, in particular Charles Worth, known most probably more for his perfume than fashion. Charles Worth was a distant relative of Gina’s.
She took us back in time to the when he left the UK for Paris. The founding of the House of Worth in 1858, with its bustles and 18 inch waists right through to its closure in 1956. The brand was revived in 1999 and is now part of the Shaneel Group.
Our visit to Worle Magistrates court was a great success.
It did make us feel sorry for some people who had done what they did to get help or found themselves in a lose/lose situation. It also showed that the supermarkets do not tolerate theft, whatever the amount. A £1.50 packet of sweets ends up costing £100.00!
We are off to the Yeo Valley group meeting at the end of the month. Last time we won the competition with Edna’s icing lady with seven veils. She has done us proud again with an inedible bar of chocolate made from foam.
Following the success of last year’s village treasurer hunt, providing the weather is kind to us, we will be having another one for our May meeting. This will be followed by homemade cake and tea. If you fancy a gentle stroll, you are very welcome to join us. We will be leaving the village hall around 14.45.
