What a fabulous offer. Anyone fancy a trip? 🙂

What a lovely idea ... an invitation from the Isle of Wight guilds:
There are 8 active TG groups across the Isle of Wight. If any Townswomen Guild members are on holiday here and missing their own guild meeting, please visit one of ours (check times) for TG fellowship. Cheryl May

Guild meeting 3rd June 2026

Clio gave a lovely presentation on her journey to renting an allotment plot at Walsall Road and all the benefits of doing so.
Not only health wise - good exercise, well-being and socialising but also being almost self-sufficient with the produce she grows. She has learnt how to freeze, dry, cook and preserve the vegetables and fruits that she grows on her large plot. Clio brought a display of some of the vegetables and the flowers that grow on her allotment and sold some jars of jam and chutneys.
As part of her talk, Clio gave a brief, interesting history of Walsall Allotments. She suggested various books for reference and answered questions from members.
An interesting and inspiring talk.

Wednesday 6th May, Guild Meeting, The Morecambe & Wise Story. Andrew French gave a very good presentation on this iconic duo, charting their early beginnings, trials and tribulations, and making their big break into films and television. Andrew brought back to life the many comedians we were familiar with, Harry Secombe, Bruce Forsythe, Ken Dodd, Sid James etc, but best of all were the classic video clips of the Morecambe & Wise Shows. They were so funny and we all knew the catch phrases!!
A very enjoyable evening

Next Meeting Wednesday 3rd June at 7pm. Benefits of an Allotment - a talk by Cleo (Jams will be on sale)
