IN March, Brian Draper gave us a comprehensive and amusing account of what rivers do and should mean to us. We take for granted their many uses which include, drinking, washing, flushing and providing energy. They are a habitat for fish, animals and birds and a greenway for larger mammals who need to travel. Brian gave us many more reasons why we should ensure our rivers are kept pure and not used as rubbish dumps. Rivers supply leisure activities where we can swim, go boating and fishing and their sheer beauty calms and relaxes us.
Members had recently enjoyed an evening of Skittles at The Swan Inn, Moreton and a Truffle Making Class at the Cacao Bean.
The next meeting is at 7.30pm on Thursday, April 9 in the WI Hall when the speaker will be Mark Cummings of Radio Gloucestershire. Please contact Jo on 01608 650821.
