Our next meeeting promises to be an interesting one. It would be amazing to be a fly on the wall at 11 Downing Street. We are looking forward to hearing some inside information from Ed Maudlin, son of Reginald Maudlin.
Ed was just a child when he lived at number 11 bur old enough to have lots of memories of his time there.
Come along as a visitor to hear him - we are a friendly group and will make you very welcome.

A busy week at West Hallam WI. First, a guided tour of the Hydrangea Gardens at Darley Park, including special access to the National Collection of Hydrangea paniculata. Four excellent guides shared their expertise with us and we greatly enjoyed seeing the blooms at their best.
Then we have also enjoyed our annual Summer Tea Party. Forty ladies, including several guests sat down to a true strawberry tea including scones, jam and cream. We enjoyed chatting while puzzling over a Summer Quiz - who did sing Summer of '69??

Once again there has been a lovely buzz of activity behind the Village Hall this week as well dressers have got to work. The West Hallam WI team have created a really beautiful Well Dressing for this year’s event on July 11th. Designed by Alison Molineux, with the help of Jenny Hall and many of the WI members, it celebrates the work of Beatrix Potter.
Village gardens have been raided for petals, leaves and moss, but see if you can also spot lavender, onion skins, grasses, straw, seedheads and even banana skins.
Peter Rabbit’s been busy raiding too – check out his carrots and radishes. See him beside the Village Hall on the Scarecrow Trail.

A good evening at WI with Ailsa Hunt, telling the story of her remarkable, determined Grandpa, Arthur Denley, who overcame a terrible misfortune at only 21 when he contracted polio. He went on to have his own adventures on his motorised trike, including travelling into the Alps. Then he spent his life pioneering the development of cars for disabled people and their families, giving them real independence and this led to the founding of the organisation Mobilise, of which he was president.
