Whitley winners of the CFWI Jigsaw race

CFWI launched their ‘Jigsaw Race’ competition this March. Each team of 4 was given a 500 piece jigsaw with a time limit of 90 mins to complete it. The winner was the first to complete their puzzle, or the team with least pieces left at the end of the 90 minutes. Our team of Ann, Annette, Jean and Susan were the overall winners, completing their jigsaw with 19 minutes to spare and the only team to finish within the 90 minutes. They were each presented with a lovely campanula pot plant.

A very enjoyable and sociable occasion, more similar events are planned.

Village Group Meeting – March

Nearly 70 WI members had a very entertaining evening with Jamie Sutherland, a professional comedian from Liverpool. He kept us all laughing all evening with his lively stream of jokes, refreshingly without the need for any bad language. He quickly tuned in to his audience, engaged with the front row by name, and picked out a couple of Whitley members (Sue and Ann) for special attention! The time flew by, and we had very good feedback . After refreshments we were entertained by a small group from Antrobus WI with a rhyme about being a WI member
