Last evening we were joined by David Adams, who come to talk to us about the life and achievements of Joseph Paxton...what a life! full of travel, engineering feats, garden design and architecture, both at Chatsworth house and further afield. It was a thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable talk. We would highly recommend to other WI's. Jackie entertained us with a poem celebrating Derbyshire, and members enjoyed refreshments including a delicious fruit cake, and samples of very local apple juice from Weston on Trent Apple Project..WOTAP
Another enjoyable meeting!

A thoroughly enjoyable and interesting meeting last evening, the hall was full of members helping with set up and serving refreshments- the apple and cardamon cake was delicious.

Members thanked outgoing president Becky and secretary Ruth, for all of their hard-work, and welcomed Karen as president supported by Dorothy in a vice president role. Karens speech hinted at some interesting ideas for future meetings and social get togethers! And welcomed all members to a committee meeting in the Village Hall Monday 20th upstairs in the Village Hall.

Thank you to Ron Rock from Bumblebee Conservation Trust who waited patiently to start his brilliant talk on Bumble bees, member's were fascinated with lots of little facts about the history of these bees and their habitats and characteristics...and maybe more importantly the state of their decline and what we can do to help them.

"British gardens cover more than 1 million acres and can be a lifeline foe a Bumblebee. No matter what size your garden is, you can contribute to our efforts to save the sound of summer by providing lots friendly, we mean flowers that are rich in pollen and nectar" Bumblebee conservation Trust The have lots of ideas on their website about making your garden more useful for Bumblebees. https://www.bumblebeeconservation.org/gardening/

Members really enjoyed the talk and had plenty of questions- Thanks Ron for your time and sharing your knowledge with us!
