Trip to Antarctica - 20 November 2008

Thursday 20th November 2008 - saw a packed Village Hall in Wallington, when Sue Hutchinson spoke on her trips to Antarctica. John had taken the slides which gave a wonderful picture of this cold but beautiful region and its fascinating wildlife. We were also entertained to see the amount of clothing needed!
The Spender Cup for a homemade greeting card was judged by members and won by Joan Hoefkens.
Next month, Thursday 18th December, is our Christmas party at Rushden, when we ask everyone to bring a tray of nibbles. Mulled wine and non alcoholic punch will be provided. Julie Troupe will be giving a Christmas Flower demonstration.
Our New Year lunch is being held at the Moon and Stars on January 9th. Cost is £10. if you would like to come please let Sue Austin know.
2009 sees the 90th anniversary of HFWI and the 60th anniversary of Wallington and Rushden. We would like to celebrate these events by creating and Institute tablecloth. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
On January 22nd Geoff Horritt will speak on Ringing the Changes at Wallington.
