I sometimes wonder whether all local papers as parochial as ours, which takes ‘local’ to its logical extreme. There are pages in the middle that report the smallest stories in town. Where else could you read about Joyce’s scones?
DARBY & JOAN – Mrs Ashford welcomed everyone to the meeting held at the community centre and get well wishes were sent to Mrs Barford. Members were thanked for their generous gifts for the club’s stall at the church fete on June 13. The competition for a wedding photograph attracted some lovely entries dating from 1924 to the present day and there were two photos printed on a cushion. Members had to think back to their childhood days to guess the answers to the nursery rhyme quiz which was one by Mrs Tebby. After that, members were pleased to tuck into Joyce’s scones and a cup of tea.
Or the amazing prizes on offer at the Women’s Institute?
WOMEN’S INSTITUTE – …the competition for a table mat was won by Jean Sapsford; and the runner up was Elsie Briggs. Members are reminded that meetings will start at 2.15pm in Broomfield Community Centre when the speaker will be Paul Irvine on health. The competition is for a cereal bowl.
Both of those are in this week’s issue.
