Welcome to the Shutford Women's Institute
If you wish to join us at any of our forthcoming meetings, held in Shutford Village Hall at 10:00 am, please contact either Geraldine on 780579 or Jenny on 780570.
We held our December 2021 meeting as usual, unlike the previous year when meetings were banned due to the pandemic, but we didn’t go out for our traditional Christmas meal later in the month. We gave our brains a workout with two quizzes, one on Carols and another on Flowers & Herbs before enjoying a ‘bring and share’ buffet. Cards were exchanged and presents drawn from Secret Santa’s sack.
We received some sad news in December that two of our long standing members had died; Jean Moyle, from Banbury, and Ann Yeomans from Shutford, who had organised our programme of speakers for the last few years.
In early January our speaker Andrew Parsons gave us some pointers about ‘Unlocking your Local Church’. This involved looking out for architectural features which had hidden meanings. The talk was illustrated by slides showing examples from several churches in our area. We were joined by Maria Morris, a former villager, who was visiting from Sweden.
Visitors will be made very welcome at any of our forthcoming meetings, held in Shutford Village Hall on the first Tuesday of each month at 10am:
