Our speaker last night was Dawn along with Logan (Dave) and Memphis-Blade, her dogs.
Dawn trains drug detection dogs i.e. sniffer dogs. Sniffer dogs are trained to identify a range of illegal drugs and play a crucial role in enhancing safety and security in various environments.
Dawn brought a variety of synthetic drugs which are used to train the dogs, she gave us the opportunity to have a sniff.
Dawn then gave us a demonstration of Logan’s (Dave) sniffing skills as various 'smells' were planted on some of our members. Then Memphis - Blade, her equivalent Police Dog, gave a demonstration of his skills.
Thank you Dawn we all enjoyed your talk and demonstrations so much, a fantastic evening.

WI trip to the seaside. On the road for 9.30am arriving at Brigg Garden Centre in time for morning coffee and lots of retail therapy. Back on the coach for Cleethorpes. Lovely day no rain. Lots of choices for lunch I had fish and chips then an ice cream walking along the promenade. Thanks to Karen for organising. Great day out. 😊

A wonderful outing today with beautiful sunshine. Twelve members spent the day at Thornbridge Hall. We started with morning coffee, followed by a guided tour of the Hall. Thanks to Liz our guide who told us the history of the Hall and how it has been restored by Jim and Emma Harrison. After a very enjoyable lunch we walked through the beautiful gardens. As we sat looking at “1000 shades of green” we thought how lovely, quiet and relaxing. We are so lucky!

Our speaker last night was Kate Webley, who makes handmade canal inspired fused glass. All her work is created aboard 'The Pod Floating Studio', a 28 foot narrow boat moored on the Chesterfield Canal.
A fantastic speaker Kate explained the process and how life on the canal inspires her work, all this intermingled with amusing anecdotes.

Last night was amazing. Chair ballet with Gwenny Rose Robson. She took us through various graceful ballet moves with our arms and legs. We started sitting then progressed to moves standing up. Everyone had a go. Check out the photos didn’t we do well.
Thank you Gwenny.
