WALKING WITH WOLVES

Molesey WI had a trip out earlier this year to the Wolf Conservation Trust near Reading.  They had a good day finding out about these animals and the highlight was actually walking round the fields with one of the wolves. A fascinating experience and everybody had the chance to stroke a wolf under the watchful eye of the handler.

ENGLEFIELD GREEN/BISHOPSGATE FIND FAME ?

Kirstie Allsopp, presenter of "Location, Location", asked the WI committee if they would organise a Bring and Buy Sale for her new programme, 'Kirstie's Homemade Homes '. The sale was organised in 10 days and Kirstie went round the village collecting various items for the sale with a horse and cart for transport.  Everyone is now waiting to see if they have been included in the finished programme, which should be aired in the next couple of months.
