Our W.I. meets in the Parish Hall at 7.30pm on the second Thursday of the month. Why not come along and see what is on offer? Visitors are always welcome.
The 2020 programme began when Chris and Judy Leeming were the guest speakers. Their truly inspirational talk, accompanied by slides, described their challenge to walk 1000 miles in a year. The challenge, however became an obsession and they put on their boots every day, averaged over 200 miles a month and accomplished 2000 miles before the end of the year. An incredible achievement.
Michael Roberts, an auctioneer and valuer from PFK Penrith was our speaker in February. He gave an interesting talk on his varied career in the antiques business. Members brought in their own artefacts for his comments and valuations.
At the March meeting Sarah Lister, author of the book Curious Tales from the Ancient Graveyard: gave a talk on Celebrating the lives of Settle’s ancestors. Her excellent talk revealed her findings about folk in the 19th century and their interesting lives.
