Longstanton WI

The last meeting of the Longstanton WI - for the time being anyway - but we all had fun regardless. One more gathering to come as we have a farewell dinner in April. Some of the members had been at this WI for 40 years! Many thanks to Fran Saltmarsh for her splendid lecture on fashions through the ages.

In November Carole Pooke gave an interesting and engaging talk about Marilyn Fawcett, an English political activist and writer who campaigned for women's rights by legal change and in 1897–1919 led Britain's largest women's rights association, the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS)
