Jam and Jerusalem

A different view of the WI in Gloucestershire

A very special occasion indeed


Last night was the birthday celebrations of our oldest WI, as Fairford celebrated their 90th birthday with a party in the Palmer Hall. Fairford WI was opened on the 3rd March, 1917, when Madge Watt was present and a gentleman chaired the meeting.
How times change!
90 years later, the gentlemen were helping in the kitchen and the (lady) Mayor of Fairford, Christine, joined in the celebrations too. There was a splendid cake to cut, scrapbooks to peruse and many memories to share. Of course, we stood for Jerusalem - a fitting end to a wonderful occasion.
All congratulations to Fairford WI on such a magnificent achievement!
