Other events we have attended over the past 12 months, as part of the SaLterns Group, include The summer event, at Boldre War Memorial Hall Gardeners Question Time OurWI hosted, and arranged, the Autumn Group meetingat Hordle Wl hall where our members were entertained by Ground Force presenter Charlie Dimmock, followed by an excellent spread of home-made cakes, and afternoon tea all beautifully presented on the Group china. Thank you to all those ladies that baked cakes, served teas, and heLped on the day. As welL as posing for Selfies, with our members, Charlie Dimmock was kind enough to call in to Pennington Junior SchooL to advise the staff on how the outdoor wildlife pond, and water garden. could be improved, and refurbished. The Group Carol Service, was held at St. Thomas, Church, Lymington, and Oakhaven was the chosen charity for the year. Our Wl has now purchased Wl polo shirts which can be worn by kitchen heLpers at the Group Meetings. Thanks to Di Young for arranging to buy the polo shirts. The much enjoyed spring Salterns Group event in March, was held in Milford on Sea, and members were entertained by a speakerwho talked about the LumberjilLs, the Womens, Timber Corps, who worked in the Forests during WW2. Followed by deLicious tea and cakes. Thanks go to Di Clark, and Maureen, who have attended the Salterns Group committee meetings on our behalf. We have now all joined the Coalition of the Concerned, which is calling on everyone who is angry about the state of our water to demand the government takes urgent action to address the high level or water pollution Holding our meetings at St. Marks Community Hall has enabled our Wl to build up a closer reLationship with St. Marks Church, recently hosting a Fish & Chip Quiz evening, with members of the community, the Church and our Wl. Thanks go to Ruth and Pat who were involved in the arrangements, and to our Quizmaster Di Young. Since providing funds to the Church in 2024, to refurbish the car park and install a hearing loop, our Wl purchased a pLaque which has been erected at the entrance of the Community Hall. Thanks go to Di Clark, for arranging this, and to Barry Clark for installing it. Our Wl has continued to support our local Junior School, PJS, by donating funds which have been used to improve, and update, the school grounds and garden. As weLI as purchasing picnic benches, to be used for outdoor lessons and lunchtime, the school has also bought a new shed and a weather station. Since Charlie Dimmock's visit last October the school has arranged for the fiLLing in of the old pond, and a new pond has been built in the area between the Infants and Junior School. The idea being that all the chiLdren will be able to access the area, and benefit from pond dipping and the wildlife. Our Wl has also donated funds to the Pennington Village pre-school, for the purchase of Wet Weather Clothing for the children to wear when playing outdoor and to Pennington Infants SchooLtowards the cost of the construction of their Forest Garden area. In addition to funding projects to benefit the Community we have been donating the proceeds of our monthly raffles to local causes such as Oakhaven, and the Rose Road Group. Thanks go to Carol Labram and Janet RigLar for attending the NFS Tent Committee Coffee Morning in March. Maureen also attended as a representative of Hordle Wl. Janet will be giving her report in due course. Sadly, we lost one of long standing members, Mary Lewis, last September. Mary had been unwell for a longtime and some of our members attended her celebration of life service at Hinton Park Woodland Burial Ground afterwhich we were presented with bulbs to take home to plant and our Wl made a donation to Oakhaven in Memoryof Mary. Thanks to everyone who has helped to make our Wl a success. Our Wl has attracted some new members, we have a good relationship with the Church, and schooLs, and have lots to look forward to both this year, and next. Signed ..& .k4.: Suzanne M. Clark Dated
