Our 100th Birthday Celebration
Mamble village hall on Monday 7th August 2017 saw members of the W.I. gather to celebrate 100 years since its formation in 1917.
The village hall, the meeting place of the W.I. for those 100 years was prettily decorated with bunting, flowers and the Institute’s treasured curtains that were designed and made for an exhibition in 1933. In true W.I. tradition there was a large table of delicious teatime treats.
President Mrs. Evans welcomed everyone to the birthday party, among them Mrs. Marjorie Whiting the Worcestershire Federation Chairman. Members and guests then enjoyed an entertaining afternoon of lively music, afternoon tea, a quiz, a raffle and a display of items from the Institute’s history including a reading from the minutes of the first inaugural meeting in 1917.
For a keepsake and for the history books of the future, a group photograph of members was taken, and one of Mrs.Trow, our longest serving member, cutting a 2 tier birthday cake.
We are very proud of our history of 100 years in the community and that we can still meet in the same beautifully refurbished village hall.
