<\/a>At the end of January, the Standing with Giants charity asked WI members to make poppies to help refresh their installations. Wenvoe members rose to the challenge and made 125 poppies during February. Well done everyone.<\/p>\nAt the beginning of March we welcomed Marc Harris from Dinas Powys as our speaker. Marc is a naturalist and author who has travelled thousands of miles in his lifetime, by bicycle and on foot, exploring the wonders of nature in the British countryside, which has inspired his writing. He gave us a very interesting and informative talk about his life, shared some of his excellent photographs with us and read a selection of articles from his book about South and West Wales along with some of his poems.<\/p>\n
Due to Easter, our next meeting will be on May 7th for our AGM.<\/p>\n
Visitors and prospective members are always welcome to our meetings. Please ring 07881853032 for further details<\/p>\n
Carol Charlson (President)<\/p>\n
