The WI’s annual general meeting on November 7 saw the re-election for the seventh successive year of Margaret Stalker as President. Margaret said that although she enjoyed the position “this year really must be my last”.

Beryl Latham, who has been treasurer for a similar length of time, resigned, and Ann Keast has taken on the job. Her former role as Vice-President will be filled by Margaret Aspinall.

The new press secretary is Ann Roberts, who will contribute reports to the Ashby Times, Packington Post, the Packington website and the Institute’s County News.

A vote of thanks to all officers and members of the committee for their hard work during the year was proposed by Doreen Roberts.
