Shirley Ward had set a Diamond Jubilee Quiz for us, which – although it had multiple choice answers – was trickier than it looked! Winners here were Linda Bloomfield and Beryl Grant. There was also a contest to see how many words of 4 letters or more could be made from “The Diamond Jubilee”. This was ALSO won by Linda and Beryl, who came up with over 100 between them!
Our next trip out is to Wattisham Airbase on July 19th, then on August 2nd we are meeting at the allotments to visit the newly-created wildlife area there, and on August 9th we are off to the Bramford Cock for a Summer Buffet Evening.
Our first meeting in September – on Thursday 6th – is entitled “Couture, Hats and Fascinators” with Debra Johnson – so if you’ve got a posh occasion coming up this could be for you!
