AT the meeting on April 14, the President welcomed Yvonne Mort who gave a super and lively talk on Pressed Flowers for Pictures and Cards.

Yvonne and her friend Pauline (both of whom were left on their own when families flew the nest) decided to buy a guest house in Leominster,which they ran for a long time.

On receiving a book by Penny Black about Pressed flowers, Yvonne became hooked on the subject and gave a demonstration as to how to get the best pressed flowers interspersed with lots of anecdotes.

But the serious illness of Motor Neurone to a good friend prompted Yvonne and Pauline to make cards etc for the M N charity.

Yvonne showed members how to make the cards and inspired all to have a go.

Everyone enjoyed the open meeting with visitors from the local WIs,a raffle and tea.

The next meeting will be on Tuesday, May 10 and will cover Resolutions and Quiz. New members and guests are welcome.

A note for your diaries is Hanley Swan Open Gardens and Jazz Night on Saturday, June 11 and Sunday, June 12.
