Report of Meeting held in May 2013As one of the villagers remarked Craster W.I. were off on a charabanc trip. Our friendly Travelsure driver took us to Wallington Hall where we had a delightful three hours exploring whatever took our fancy. Two of our members had a grand time practicing their Grand Prix driving courtesy of the mobility scooters provided. We all found Wallington to be a fascinating place with lots to see both inside the house and out in the gardens.The model soldiers and the Hammond House made a particular impression.Imagine having a doll’s house with running water and electricity. We all decided our tree climbing days were behind us so not one person attempted to scale the tree recommended by the National Trust. I think we had visions of having to summons the fire brigade to get us down. We took advantage of the café instead where some members availed themselves of the delicious cakes on offer. We stopped off at the “Dyke Neuk” for a meal on our way home. Muriel Silk won the raffle and people signed up in response to invitations from Beadnell and Hedgely WIs. We were suitably impressed by the standard of the food and friendly service on offer at the restaurant. We arrived home tired but happy just before 9pm. Meeting Reports |
