The president Mrs Barbara Clark greeted our guests including the Norfolk Federation Chairman Mrs Wendy Adams and Secretary Mrs Cindy Brooks, two W.I. Advisers and friends from Bradwell and Gorleston W.I. Groups. Barbara spoke about how our W.I. has grown over the years “we still do our Jam and sewing etc”., but we also go bowling, play darts and quiz together. At the present time we have 47 members in the Belton W.I. The Norfolk Chairman said a few words as did the Secretary and then we sat down to our buffet.

Inspiring Author visits such as this are one way to help this to happen.” NEPAL FUNDRAISING AT MOORLANDS he children of Moorlands have been deeply moved by the tragic TEarthquakes and ongoing situation in Nepal, so much so that they have decided to raise as much money as possible to help the people of the region who have lost everything.
