Anna Warner- Smith produced some astoundingly beautiful and deceptively simple arrangements for September's WI meeting. Originally trained at Constance Spry's, she continued to work for her for several years, work that included flower arranging for top department stores, hotels and also cathedrals.
Next month is the AGM on Thursday 15th October at Wallington when there will also be a cheese and wine and a quiz.
The Autumn Council Meeting is being held at Broxbourne on 21st October when the talk will be on Whores, Rakes and Crashing China with Lars Thorp.

Time for You - 19 February 2009
A lucky member was able to undergo the delights of a neck and back massage when they were chosen for a demonstration by Helen Bardell at February's WI meeting and another was able to win one on the raffle. Time for Me was a wonderful way to learn to make time for ourselves in this increasingly frenetic world.
The next meeting is an open meeting when Steve Ruff will speak on The Buntingford Railway at Wallington Village Hall on Thursday 19th March. Everyone is welcome to join us.
