Our February meeting was a
lively and entertaining occasion. After our members settled in and we had a
puzzle and word search, our guests and volunteers enjoyed a marvellous show put
on by members of the Crantock Women’s Institute and were then treated to a
fascinating talk about the Galapagos Islands by David Eyles. The WI members
delivered a hilarious performance of Roald Dahl’s version of Cinderella.
Several distinguished members of the Institute were unrecognisable in a variety
of extraordinary wigs and other accoutrements. The plot concerned a search for
the owner of a “smelly trainer” and for some reason involved quite a lot of
sword play leading to a shower of plastic heads bouncing around the hall. It
could be said that Veronica really was the Head Girl! It was a truly memorable
performance, much enjoyed by all.

David Eyles then gave a slide
show of a trip that he and Brenda made to the Galapagos Islands focussing
particularly on the extraordinary wildlife. David’s photographs were superb and
he demonstrated that he is not only a fantastic gardener but he is also a first
rate photographer.
This was a suitable preamble
for a delicious tea provided by our wonderful kitchen helpers. As tea was being
served we had the excitement of having a flurry of snow which, fortunately did
not settle. Hopefully the weather will
be kinder when we next meet on Monday March 2nd.
