Heritage Treasure Hunt

On a typical Wimbledon evening (sun and showers!) 15 WI teams from the South Yorkshire federation gathered at The Well Church on Ecclesall Road, Sheffield for the annual Heritage Treasure Hunt.

Captain Mary and her team!

Mary's found an answer!

After a stroll along Ecclesall Road, up to the Botanical Gardens and then along to Endcliffe Park the clues were varied and interesting and we had some laughs along the way.

This time its Pat who's spotted an answer on Sharrow Vale Road

(good job the Doughnut shop was shut!)

Interesting shop-wall graffiti

Although we weren't the fastest team ( we were too busy window-shopping) we eventually arrived back at the Well Church for a much appreciated cuppa ........ 

                 ......... and excellent WI tea (why else did we sign our names up!)

........ and of course a chat with other WI members. 

The answers were then given out and the team results announced -

3rd Place - Warmsworth WI

2nd Place - Penistone WI

Ist Place - Thorpe Hesley WI

We were really surprised to win but delighted when each of us received a beautiful bouquet of flowers as our prize.

Our hosts Ecclesall Road WI were then given a well-deserved round of applause for organising a wonderful event followed by excellent refreshments.

Our hosts for the evening WIER

Another excellent WI event.
