Oyez! Oyez!

After a rousing rendition of Jerusalem by members of the many WIs in West Sussex, not to be outdone, the Worthing Town Crier announced the arrival of the Mayor of Worthing and escorted him to his seat. So began a very interesting day.

The business part of the morning completed, Melanie Gibson-Barton gave a thought-provoking talk on the Somme and her quest to identify the graves of soldiers from the Folkestone area.

Our speaker after lunch was John Benjamin, one of the jewellery experts from the Antiques Roadshow. His journey from a seventeen year old who did not know what he wanted to do to where he is today was most entertaining.

The afternoon ended with a short talk by Jane Probitts, National Trustee and Chair of the Craft Committee.

This brief teaser of  events was submitted by Lesley but we look forward to hearing more about this day from Pam at our own Annual General Meeting.
