THERE were beautiful displays of Penketh's entries in the Cheshire Show. Congratulations to Nina Grant and Eileen Fitzgerald, for first and third prizes in their respective classes.

There is a great deal on offer over the coming months.Kate Adie will speak at the autumn council meeting on October 11.

Members can sample 'chocolate heaven' on a trip to Clitheroe, the Trough of Bowland and the Chocolate House near Blackburn.

Our speaker was Iona Gillis, who introduced us to Hidden London. Ms Gillis lived and worked in London for 13 years and came to know and love the city. She guided us around five areas, all very different and with very individual characteristics. A memento of London was won by Peggy Williams.

Next month's meeting is on August 1 in Penketh Leisure Centre. The topic will be Comedy, so why not come along and have some fun? Call 726663.
