Meeting: 25th January 2010
The meeting was opened by the president Jennifer Haslam, several members could not be present, so it was the smallest meeting for a very long time.
Arrangements were made for organizing entries for the WRI bulb and baking show on the 13th March. Getting volunteers to help with the teas in the church hall in Maryburgh, and members to bake cakes for the hoped for 100 people to come and enjoy.
Jennifer Haslam brought oasis balls, artificial flowers, and a lot of skill to help us make flower balls for the show, it was so engrossing that we did not want to stop for the tea provided.

Meeting: 4th March
The February meeting had to be postponed for a week due to snow. We discussed the arrangements for taking our exhibits to the bulb and baking show on the 13th of March at Maryburgh.
Due to the hard weather few of the bulbs have performed as well as they should, (mine all died) so it will be difficult to do as well as usual.
We are providing teas and cakes this year as usual, so that was also arranged. (We do not get prizes for that, though).
We also filled in the forms for the handicraft show on the 16th and 17th of April, at least our efforts on that will not be weather dependant.
We then made posies from silk flowers, in between talking. We all took offerings for the tea.
Competitions
Best decorated egg:
Jeanette Dickinson
Jean Bailey

Pin cushion:
1. Jeannette Dickinson
2. Pat Macdonald
3. Ilsa Jack.
The next meeting will be on 25th of March when Amy Gentles from British Waterways will give a talk on the Caledonian Canal.
The competitions will be an Easter ’hat’ and a vase.
