Milwich WI 90th Birthday
Members with husbands and friends celebrated Milwich WI’s 90th Birthday with a meal at the Parks Hotel, Uttoxeter which was enjoyed by everyone present. Helen Mancy, the WI County President, joined the party, giving her the opportunity to meet the members. A “Tree” with all the past and present Milwich WI presidents as well as the first Minutes Book were on show. Cupcakes and rose plants were given to everyone. A very happy evening with good company was had by all.

In May, we welcomed Alan & Sylvia Williams whose talk and film show about Barn Owls in the Wild gave members a fascinating outlook on this wonderful bird. With cameras inside the nesting boxes, we were able to see the whole life-cycle, from eggs to chicks, to fledglings. A really great evening’s entertainment,
