Rockley Carol Service - Holy Trinity Thorpe Hesley

It was our turn to host this years' Rockley Carol Service.  Members chose their favourite carols in member of a loved one and each WI group chose a representative to read.  Holy Trinity looked beautiful with all the trees from their festival still up in church.  






All members and guests from other WI's agreed how lovely the service had been as they enjoyed refreshments afterwards.  Thanks were given to the Rev Jan Hardy, Sara Parish the organist and the church Choir for their contributions to a lovely service.

Christmas Tree Festival and Victorian Fair


Well done to Mary Wilman and her team of 'crafters' who helped the WI to a third consecutive 'win' in this years Christmas tree Festival at Holy Trinity.  The tree was beautifully decorated as usual by Sylvia Attwood and Carolyn Scaife and really depicted the words of the Carol 'Good King Wenceslas'.  However all members agreed that all the trees looked wonderful and the real winner was the church itself.

Many members then donned Victorian costumes to help at the very successful Christmas Fair held in the Trinity Centre
