Another cup to clean!! No not the world cup but the one we won at the County Show. We came first in the Home Economics Co-operative Competition with our exhibit ‘Burns Night’, the theme being Feasts and Festivals. On the 19th June Anne Ramsden put in a lot of hard work to make a luncheon at her house so successful, the profit going into the W I funds. A super meal enjoyed by everyone who attended.
At our last meeting we were entertained by Jo Carter with her portrayal of a lady’s maid from the Victorian Times. Joanne took us through a weekend when the future king, then Prince Edward, attended Warwick Castle in 1898, and the party lasted 11 days. Some weekend! She also told us about the language of the fans where ladies would flutter their eyelashes and beckon with their fans. More seductive and interesting than a jerk of the thumb. In her ‘other life’ Joanne is a costumed guide at such places as Warwick Castle and Caulk Abbey.
