The Andes to the Galapagos - 17 February 2005

Members were treated to a fascinating insight into the lives of the women of the Andes when Margaret Rogers came to talk on from The Andes to the Galapagos on Thursday 17th February at Rushden. The women themselves are very small compared to their menfolk and the richer people of the area due to their poor diet. In spite of this they enjoy their “girls’” outings to the local markets selling hand made goods at nominal costs.Next month sees Malcolm Brewer talking about his life as a Customs Officer at Stansted Airport. This is an open meeting and everyone in welcome. If you want to find out what life is like on the other side of the barrier now’s your chance. We are told by other W.I.s to whom he has spoken that this is a talk not to be missed. It is on Thursday 17th March at 8pm at Wallington Village Hall.
