Blanket update - November 2023
Aylesbury Women's Refuge:
We are pleased to support the Aylesbury Women's Refuge and it was a pleasure recently to donate single sheets, pillowcases, duvet sets, cot mattress protectors, cot blankets and cot sheets. Some of the items were donated by members and the remainder were bought from our half of the funds raised from the Coronation Teas held on 7th May 2023.
Thanks, Chris.

Spring Fayre
Our preparations on Saturday April 2nd for a busy successful Spring Fayre. It was a great way to meet old friends and make some new ones. We had some lovely crafts on display and the home made cake went down well with a cuppa.

Report from our day at the Stoke Mandeville Stadium Walking Netball Festival
Saturday 29th January.
Well, what a day of fun and entertainment. Proudly sporting our newly acquired team t shirts, we arrived at Stoke Mandeville Stadium at 12 noon and settled in with six other teams from as far away as Abbingdon Oxon. We were all issued with coloured bibs and after a quick team briefing the games began at 12.30 sharp. There were two courts playing concurrently. Six minutes a-side per game. It was so well organised it ran like clockwork. One of our members, an experienced Host also helped on the day.
There was only one other WI team and some teams had been playing for years and were a little more proficient and competitive… We learned a lot. All in all, a friendly and exciting time was had by all.
A big thank you to Vicki and her colleagues for organising such a great Festival.
