The Resolutions meeting saw members tackling the important problem of the closure of community hospitals. The support for the resolution was unanimous.
We were given a talk by Ann Cottam on the Great Milk Debate and how the present cost of milk is affecting dairy farmers. Also, how important it is to drink milk which has only 4 % fat and how many of our population are falling prey to osteoporosis because of the reduction in milk drinking.
We must congratulate Our Quiz Team who have got through to the final of the inter county quiz.
The evening ended with an olfactory quiz provided by Jenny Barlow which really tested our nasal powers.
The next meeting is on Thursday 21st June at Rushden Village Hall at 8pm when the Rev Mike Griffin will speak on the Leprosy Society and its work.

The ECO House - Friday 4 May 2007
The WI's visit to Lydia Somerville's eco-house proved a fascinating experience. The house is entirely wood built, triple glazed and insulted with wool. A rayburn heater and a small woodburner are the sole source of heating and at present an underground water tank is being put in to make them self sufficient in all but drinking water. The compost loo proved to be a great attraction to all the visitors. Lydia is in the process of planting an orchard and hopes to introduce various animals to make themselves even more self sufficient. There is an open day on Saturday 23rd June.
