THE DARNHALL AND WETTENHALL WOMEN'S INSTITUTE 

meets on the first Tuesday every month except January at The Village Hall, Hall Lane, Darnhall at 7.30pm. Last autumn the WI reintroduced a show where members could express their talents in various ways, and this will repeated again this year with more classes to enter because the responses last year were better than expected. As hoped, like the oak tree that marks the centre of Cheshire, large oak trees from small acorns grow, and that oak tree is growing fast beside the Village Hall. With both new properties being built in the area, and older buildings being converted into homes, it is hoped that interest in the local Women’s Institute will grow.

As many ladies moving into the area are learning we are not all ‘Jam and Jerusalem’. For this year we have taken part in a Darts Competition and a General Knowledge quiz without disgracing ourselves. Members have taken part in Crown Green Bowling and Ten Pin Bowling, together with classes in Flower Arranging, and will shortly learn how to make Pin Flare with one of our members providing the tuition. A number of our members are hoping to raise money by being sponsors to swim half a mile for ‘Children in Nepal’ following an evening held in Spring when Sheila Bull talked to us about life in Nepal. Anyone interesting in sponsoring this project please contact the Parish Clerk.

This is one of the oldest institutes in Cheshire and is looking forward to another year of varied and interesting speakers, and an interesting variety of activities. Anyone is welcome to come along and visit, enjoy a cup of tea and a piece of home made cake without obligation to join.
