Saturday was Henton Roadshow and when the 200 club was drawn - Binegar won a prize - not sure how much - was taking pictures of our speaker. Chris Sperring, and his owl 'Beau' with Emma from the WI office who was keen to hold the owl. She was the only volunteer. The owl box is the one being offered free (one per parish) or £55 if you want to buy one!!
This is to encourage the return of the barn owl to our fields.

There was a Jubilee theme with on the right of lefthand picture above Carole (Somerset chair) cutting the cake, made by (left) Liz, Sheila made the one at Crowcombe and Margaret Bigg (right) made the 'decoration' for both meetings. (The cake and the plaque go on to West Camel next Wednesday I think) We sang Jerusalem, 2 verses of the National Anthem and Happy Birthday because it was the Queens birthday (announced on the radio that morning) and surprisingly enough despite on 45 (ish) people present it sounded very good!!
Another WI/Woodland Trust idea is 'Plant a tree for the Jubilee' - if we did (not that we've discussed it - where would the Parish let us plant it? Are the Parish planting trees? Also there is a survey about where the oak tree saplings given out at Liverpool 4 years ago are? I know where mine are - must check Margaret knows where hers are and if they're growing (heights etc!!). Meant to say County WI Bunting was on display looking pretty good on a green and white theme.
