Our September meeting was attended by 18 members and the proceedings were opened as usual with a lusty rendition of Jerusalem. After a welcome from our president, Jill Findon, the minutes of our August meeting were read and agreed, and the various notices and invitations from other WIs and events in the county were drawn to members attention. Our speaker, Brian Drapper, was introduced and gave a most interesting talk on the River Severn, illustrated with slides and interesting tales of the stately homes and churches along the river.
