Heritage Walk - High Green

This years team of Sue Dixon, Peggy Calland, Pat Shaw and Jayne Spaven set off from St Mary's Church Hall , High Green on a lovely summers evening.  

 Most of the early clues centred on the beautiful St Saviours Church where we admired the Millenium Quilt displayed in the entrance porch.

Although the team took a few 'detours' whilst following the clues we were pleased to find out that we hadn't finished last!! (and we got back before the rain started!)

Results time!

After completing the walk we joined members from other WI's for a really enjoyable tea provided by the members of hosts high Green.  Next year we might try and get more teams from Thorpe Hesley WI to join in the fun.

Silk Painting with Elayne Wears-Taylor

Many members were really glad they'd made the effort to brave a wet miserable evening as they enjoyed a really interesting practical demonstration of Silk Painting by Elayne.

After introducing us to the basic techniques involved, we were soon 'gutta-ing' and painting away!  We couldn't believe how easy it was to obtain such effective results.

Silk framed Paintings and Cards

After Elayne's demonstration,  refreshments provided by Diane and Sheila were enjoyed followed by the business part of the meeting.  Joan gave out birthday cards to June 'babies' and final arrangements were made for the Rockley Rally.
