President Sue Mayne welcomed members and two visitors to the March meeting of Lickey WI. Fares were collected for the April coach outing to Bristol.

Judy Berrow, of Chaddesley Corbett, gave an illustrated talk entitled Starting from Scratch - The Story of a Garden. Her slides showed the amazing transformation over a very few years of a barn and land which were converted into a lovely home and enchanting garden.

Members will have the opportunity to visit the garden later in the year. Judy was thanked by Sue Mayne for her enthusiastic and inspirational presentation.

A raffle was drawn with three lucky winners. The competition for a spring flower was well supported and the winner was Pat Schofield.
