Thank you to everyone who helped or supported the church coffee morning on the 18th March.
A profit of around £327 (including donations) was made for church funds. THANK YOU.
John Thomas
Anita Thomas and family, wish to thank Relatives, Friends and Neigh- bours for their very kind words and support during this very sad time. We appreciate a lot of people will miss John and his lovely manner, and it has been very comforting to know we are not alone with these feelings.
Over £ l400. has been raised for the following Charities: Air Ambu- lance, British Heart Foundation and RNLI and thanks to everyone for their generosity.
Thanks also go out to Frank Painters for their professional but also very personal service, The Rev. Adam Clayton of St. Peters Church, Myddle and Jacky and her team at the Red Lion in Myddle, and every- one who came and supported us on the day, some of whom had trav- elled some considerable way. All of this helped a very sad and diffi- cult day be as good as it could possibly be.

Harmer Hill & District WI
Our Vice President, Angela Foulsham, was in the Chair for the March meeting and opened the meeting by inviting members to sing Jerusalem.
The schedule for our Spring Show on the 13th April was available and members were urged to enter as many classes as possible. Items should be taken to Harmer Hill Village Hall between 11am and 1pm on the day.
The Shropshire WI News was perused for events: 2 Spring Lunches would be held this year one in the South and one in the North of the county; a Speakers Day audition session was programmed for May 8th and there would be a Spring Ramble at Bucknell on 6th May.
Our speaker for the evening was Michael Theobolds, a retired Head- master and Ofsted Inspector. His subject was St. Helena, and very few of us knew where it was. Michael told us it is a volcanic island in the South Atlantic which is a British Overseas Territory between Africa and Brazil, approximate size 8 miles by 7 miles. It is mostly dry barren rock with little vegetation or trees. The British Government had made a grant of £1 million to improve the standard of education on the island. Michael was asked to go there as a Trainer, initially for 1 month. He was then asked to go again for 1 year to suggest ways of improving education standards. The money had apparently not been spent wise- ly!
It takes a week to get to St. Helena, flying first to Cape Town and then taking the Royal Mail Ship “St. Helena” which takes 5 days to reach the island. Very little is made or grown there and 90% of food has to be transported in on the Mail Ship. Michael said it is not a third world country but hasn’t moved on from the 1960’s. 70% of the inhabitants are employed by the government, dependent on our money. An airport was built at a cost of £280 million a few years ago but is unusable be- cause of the strong cross winds.
Napoleon was exiled there in 1815 and detained in a building which is now a museum. He wasn’t enamoured by the island because the weather was wet, warm and humid. He died on the island in 1821.
Our next meeting will be the Spring Show on Thursday April 13th in the Village Hall at 7.30 pm. There will be a Bring & Buy stall and a presen- tation by the Blood Bikes. Visitors are very welcome.
