Wragby

Local photographer John Edwards stepped in at short notice to entertain the members of Wragby Women's Institute when the planned speaker was unable to attend due to illness. His collection of slides of old Wragby kept his audience fascinated, both long standing residents who delighted in identifying neighbours and friends of years gone by and those who have moved in more recently who were seeing people and places which were entirely new. The first Wragby swimming pool, formed by creating a dam in the stream but serving the purpose adequately without the modern day comforts was a source of particular interest and John's enthusiasm for the history of the town, illustrated by his photos, collected over many years adds to the interest for the viewers. He was thanked by Sarah Bellhouse for sharing his knowledge and part of his collection.
Margaret Saunders had been delegate at the Lincolnshire North Autumn Council meeting and she gave a brief report on the agenda which had included a humorous and interesting talk by Stephen D Smith as 'Rumpole of Rotherham'. He gave an insight into the life of a lawyer and how he had progressed in his work- he had at one time acted for Adam Faith.
The competition for sausage rolls was won by Sue Johnson and Margaret Fox and the best flowers of the month were shown by Audrey Saul, Pauline Cooper and Linda King.
