Eight members ( Becky, Alison, Sandra, Gwen, Sarah, Barbara, Vicki and Vanessa) made up two teams at the local round of the HFWI annual Quiz. There were some interesting questions and answers! but we all had a fun evening and at the end of the quiz our two teams came 6th with 39 points and 4th with 41 points, just missing a place in the final at Hampton Bishop. The winners were Eardisley who got 49 marks, 2nd were Brampton Bryan with 46 marks and 3rd Orleton A with 45 marks.

Our meeting began with Alison Baldwin and Sian Nunn, two very talented members of Putley WI who demonstrated the evening’s activity Decoupatch (American) or Decoupage. We all chose a 3D cardboard shape like a star or a heart to decorate with small pieces of paper and PVA glue, so our talented artistic members had a chance to shine. By the end of the evening our handiwork was dry enough to take home. Debbie Weaver gave the vote of thanks.
Three members (Alison, Barbara and Sheila) had a delightful evening at the One Pot Cooking Demonstration at Dilwyn WI. Jane Voogd, a Dilwyn member, runs a small hotel in Birmingham and demonstrated three main courses and two desserts. We had a delicious meal of our choice following the demonstration, together with a glass of wine. Approximately 75 members were there from ten WI's. Claire Burton introduced our speaker for the evening Mrs Rosemary Thomas, who is Barbara Morgan’s cousin. She proceeded to give us a very entertaining and interesting account of her application to take part in the BBC Bake Off Series 5 in the autumn of 2013 and the beginning of 2014. After she sent in her very long application form she had two telephone interviews and then had to attend two actual interviews including a screen test, one in Bristol and one in London, taking her bakes to both! We saw pictures of her bakes, admired her swan butter moulds and tasted her cake and scones which were delicious. She got to the last 50 which was a great achievement but was very disappointed not to meet Paul Hollywood or Mary Berry.
