News and Photos from Recent Meetings

The cold and wet weather did not deter us from attending the meeting on February 16 when Robert Scott gave a
demonstration of Glass Blowing. He began by passing round samples of different widths of the glass tubes, some
in different thicknesses, that are used to make many various objects and then wearing protective spectacles ‘blew’ a
tiny Mouse and a larger Owl. It was amazing to see what can be made with the help of a very hot flame and Jane
Duffus was pleased to have a go at ‘blowing’ a Test Tube which she was able to take home. Delicious refreshments
were served by Janet Crouch and Eileen Murrell following which a number of events both within our WI and within
the Federation were announced. The person disguised as Santa in the November/December Newsletter was Eileen
Murrell, one Birthday posy was presented, the raffle was drawn and the meeting closed.
