An invitation to a `Extraordinary Day' was extended to members and guests of Elstead Afternoon WI. and they were asked to wear wedding outfits and hats. We were delighted to welcome as our guests, Pip Davis, Chairman of the Surrey Federation, Jean Gable from Performing Arts, Joy Scribbans, Convener for the Surrey Group and Gill Corke our WI Advisor.

As members entered looking glamorous in their beautiful and varied outfits, they found tables adorned with flowers and an invitation to a three course summer lunch followed by coffee. This was served by members of the committee and four husbands who kindly volunteered to help with the washing up! Of course, no lunch in June would be complete without strawberries and cream.

WI business was kept to a minimum but Jill Stewart was congratulated on her very successful coffee morning for our Charity, which this year, is the Elstead Pavilion, Members were asked for donations to our cake stall at the Elstead Marathon on Friday, 7^th July. We are looking forward to our next Charity event, which is a Jacket Potato lunch in Eve Hall's lovely garden on Tuesday, 11^th July and our visit to Windsor in August.

After lunch we all sat back and enjoyed a light-hearted show of sketches and music based on a `wedding theme' produced by the Drama Group.

A very happy ending to this Extraordinary Day.

Our next meeting will be on Thursday, 6^th July with a talk on Food for Health.
