On Wednesday 4th October, members of Ferryhill Village Women’s Institute held their Harvest Celebration, when they were given a very interesting talk on ‘plants in our garden’, by Howard Leslie.
The group were also treated to a lovely bowl of home made soup, which was made and donated by Committee Member Ellen Smith.
Next, the ladies held an auction to sell the vegetables and other produce which was donated by all the members.
A spokesperson said, “Thank you to all who donated and then purchased the goods. We are very lucky we have a really lovely and friendly group of members.
“Our next evening will be our 90th Birthday Party and will be held on Wednesday evening, 1st November in Dean Bank Community Centre at 6.30pm, when our members, County Chairman and special guests from our other local groups will be entertained by Nice and Easy. A buffet will follow, after which there will be a talk by one of our local ladies.
“I am looking forward to seeing everyone at this very special 90th Birthday Party Night.”
