WOMEN’S INSTITUTE
The January meeting of Bosbury W.I. was held in the Parish Hall, Mrs. Collett presiding.
It was agreed to hold a men's social and a whist drive to provide wool for comforts for the troops. A competition — sowing a button behind one’s back, was judged by Miss Burton and won by Mrs. Stephens. A vote of thanks to Miss Burton was proposed by Mrs. Hill, snr., and seconded by Mrs. J. Fletcher.
The social half hour was spent in games and community singing arranged by the Entertainment Committee.
Tea hostess was Mrs. Footman and Mrs. J. Fletcher was in charge of the sales table.
