Dyserth Women's Institute
Our theme for the May meeting was World War 2 as the 6th June is the anniversary of D Day. Linda [President] began by telling us about the evacuation of (mainly) children during the war and talked about her parents' very different experiences of being evacuated. She also talked about the different types of air raid shelters that were in use. Sue Wright [Vice President ] then told us about the experiences of her grandfather, who fought in two world wars and was captured after Dunkirk. He was held, until liberation, as a prisoner of war in Poland . Finally Anne Sanderson [Previous President] talked about food availability and the effects of rationing.
Members took a vote on this year's motion which will be discussed at the Annual Meeting in the Albert Hall in July. Sue Wright will be our Delegate, representing Dyserth, Llanasa and Gronant. . She asked for a show of hands to give her authority to vote on the Dental Health resolution that will be debated there, and another show of hands to enable her to vote against the resolution if the argument against it is convincing enough.
Our June meeting will find members being entertained by a Ukulele Orchestra. This should provide plenty of opportunity for singalongs by members.
Our Walking and Craft Groups continue to be popular [4th Wednesday: Craft and every Wednesday: Walking Group]. Our Singing Group, however, is having a temporary break while members are asked to see if they wish it to restart in the Autumn.
Dyserth W.I. continues to offer fun and friendship to any woman living in and around Dyserth including Trelawnyd, Rhyl, Rhuddlan and Prestatyn. We meet at 7.00 p.m. on the second Friday of every month [except August]
