SYFWI Centenary Spring Council - Cutlers Hall

 
 
On a bright Spring morning, a small band of WI members 'parked and rode' from Meadowhall to attend the South Yorkshire Federation's Centenary Spring Council meeting at the wonderful Cutlers Hall in Sheffield.
 
The Cutlers Hall

 
Ready for a welcoming coffee with fellow members from Wentworth WI.


 
The Lord Mayor of Sheffield welcomes us   ................  before NFWI Chair addresses us about her WI journey.

 
After an enjoyable lunch at a local hostelry, we returned to hear from the current Master Cutler about work in the Sheffield area before an entertaining speech from BBC TV presenter
Harry Gration.

 
Sue Dixon then received our 30th Birthday Certificate from our Federation as we were given news of two new WI groups being established in Sheffield and a general increase in WI members nationally.

  The afternoon then finished with
           an excellent presentation by Lucy Adlington from the  'History Wardrobe'.
