President Anne Moon told a full village hall that the year's charity fundraising had started well with £112 raised at her coffee morning, and invited members to come up with new fundraising ideas; for example the art and craft group would be holding an exhibition in September. We were very lucky in having such a busy and successful Wl, but this did mean that the main Wl meetings were becoming very large. An extra meeting for quiet discussion had been arranged for senior members on March 14^th in the URC Hall. Members were encouraged to put their names down for the visit to the Denman College Open Day on 15^th July.

The meeting discussed the possible closure of the Royal Surrey County Hospital and members were encouraged to write to the local MP, Jeremy Hunt, and or to the Chair of the PCT with their views. The meeting also discussed a resolution from Thames Ditton Wl about allergy testing.

The speaker for the afternoon was Mr Read who had brought a pot pourri of antiques. He kept the meeting entertained with a selection of interesting antiques and objets d'art with stories to match. Members were invited to identify a pressed block of tea, and to date and place two antique clocks. Jean Cherriman proposed the vote of thanks. This was followed by the usual excellent tea!

The next meeting is on Thursday 5^th April when Mrs Lock will be telling us how to make and decorate novelty Easter eggs.
