Our team of Ann, Annette, Jean and Susan were the overall winners, completing their jigsaw with 19 minutes to spare and the only team to finish within the 90 minutes.

He quickly tuned in to his audience, engaged with the front row by name, and picked out a couple of Whitley members (Sue and Ann) for special attention! The time flew by, and we had very good feedback . After refreshments we were entertained by a small group from Antrobus WI with a rhyme about being a WI member
