New Barkby W.I.

New Barkby W.I’s June meeting took the form of a social evening, to celebrate HM Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee as monarch of the United Kingdom.
Wearing a crown, President Mrs Shirley Franklin, hosted the evenings event which began with the singing of the National Anthem and a toast to Her Majesty. Delicious food was provided by committee members, including a Jubilee Pudding made by Mrs J Olive; meringue nests and strawberries from Mrs L Chapman and a special cake made by Mrs J Goulden.
There was a parade of crowns as members displayed their own creations. The winner was Mrs J Malam (this was the competition for the month). Afterwards there was a chance to view Royal memorabilia that members had brought in to display.
Mrs Franklin thanked everyone for contributing to the preparation and the organisation of the meeting.
The next meeting will be held on Wednesday 6th July at 7.30pm in Syston Community Centre, School Street, when the speaker will be Linda Holmes “Baroness Bulsover’s afternoon tea”.
Visitors are always welcome.
