Report of January Meeting
Kilmington W.I.
The meeting on 12th January opened with “Jerusalem” followed by apologies for absence. The yearly competition resulted in a joint win by Carol Bolton and Christine East .and the flower competition was won by Joy Churchill; the prizes were presented. The guest speaker was Mrs Joyce West who had stayed at a lion rehab centre in Zimbabwe and she told us how and why it was run. Lions are fast disappearing in Africa, now down to 23,000, hence the breeding programme. Mrs West and other visitors helped with every aspect of the programme, from clearing dung and preparing the animal food to “walking” young lions. She enjoyed every moment and conveyed to us the pleasure she had got from the trip. Joy Churchill proposed the vote of thanks.
Members will again enter the WI section of the Axe Vale Festival – the theme this year being “The Diamond Jubilee”. Suggestions for outings included the Eden Project, Knighthayes Court and the Tiverton Canal. Next month will see a bread making demonstration by a member and the competition will be for four jam tarts.
