19 WOODBURY SALTERTON WOMEN’S INSTITUTE President Jenny Kemp wished all members a Happy New Year at the January 11 meeting. The Christmas meal had been greatly enjoyed and she thanked Gill Bricknell and Glenys Clarke for making the arrangements and Ann Short for organising the fun game which raised money for our social fund. Secretary Terrie Newman had printed out the six resolutions on which members had to vote with brief notes on the arguments for and against each. Members each voted for their preferred one. As The Diggers’ Rest does not open until noon, the venue for the monthly Coffee Morning will be changed in January to Greendale as an experiment. The February event will be on the 16th at 11.00. The February Games Afternoon with tea will be held at the home of Jenny Kemp at 14.00 on Wednesday 15th. The questionnaire from DFWI about when the Centenary in 2020 should be celebrated was filled in. Radio Devon Poppy Appeal Ngaio Southard said she has been knitting poppies for this appeal and has the pattern if other members would like to make some. As a tribute to the 11,000 Devon men and women who lost their lives in the First World War it is planned to create a carpet of 11,000 red hand-crafted poppies in the Craft and Garden Pavilion at the Devon County Show. The traditional New Year Wine and Cheese buffet was then enjoyed. The speaker at the February meeting on the 8th at 19.30 in the Village Hall will be Rev. Karen Spray. She will be showing photos and talking about walking the Camino de Santiago. Anyone who has not had the opportunity to hear Karen’s account of her pilgrimage is very welcome to join us for the evening. WELL DONE WOODBURY SALTERTON At the Bangers (Kenniford Farm, of course) and Mash Evening, over £488 was raised for the newly refurbished village hall. Chairman Pat Bricknell used the new sound system to welcome everyone and to explain the grants that had enabled the toilets to be refurbished and the heaters and curtains to be replaced. The hall is available to hire every morning, as the play group is now assimilated into the school. It is also available most afternoons and evenings. The hall is medium-sized and ideal for exercise classes, meetings, parties etc. Tables and chairs available separately. Call Patrick on 232463.
