Treasure Hunt - Todwick WI

On a beautiful Summers' Evening, the Thorpe Hesley 'team' ably led by Chairwoman Sue Dixon, wandered around the streets, recreation ground, churchyard and play parks of Todwick looking for answers to some quite 'testing' clues.  After 2 hours (although it didn't seem anywhere near that long) we arrived back at the Village Hall to be greeted by Todwick WI members and a most wonderful tea.

What a tea!!

We finished in a creditable 3rd position and so didn't disgrace ourselves - but more importantly we'd had a lot of fun as we 'attempted' to answer the clues.  Well done to Whiston who won, and will host next years competition.  We would encourage other members to join in next year.

Around the Swingin' 60's

After hearing the news that Andy Murray was safely through to the Wimbledon semi-final,  we were thoroughly entertained by the Thorpe Hesley Village Choir with a wide range of familiar songs from the 60's.

The Village Choir

We were soon all singing along - although our harmonies were not quite up to the same standard!  Even the churchyard resident Blackbirds joined in!

WI Choir Members - Pam, Pat and Mary

After an hour of  wonderful singing, well-earned refreshments were provided by hostesses Diane and Jill.  The raffle was won by Margaret Atter and birthday cards and flowers  received by all the July 'babies'.
Jean Philip gave the 'Vote of Thanks' to the choir who then received an enthusiastic round of applause in recognition of a fantastic evenings' entertainment.  Everyone agreed how lucky we were to have such a talented group of individuals on our 'doorstep'.
