Blockley WI - February Report
Viola Stubbs
In welcoming its first new members of the New Year to its January meeting,
Blockley WI very much hopes that this expansionist trend will continue throughout the coming year.
The evening started with delicious fish and chips, cooked and delivered to St George’s Hall
by the new tenants of the Great Western. It was generally agreed that they tasted ‘better than ever’.
Greasy fingers wiped, there followed a lively hour of Scrabble. After a cautious start, everyone entered into the spirit of the game and a surprisingly competitive edge developed. The highest score was achieved by Mary Graham, followed by Christine Cranke and Hilary Thornborough.
The highlight of our February meeting was a talk by Nigel Moor, entitled ‘Russia’. In view of the near
Siberian
conditions into which members had so gallantly ventured out, the focus of the evening was surprisingly appropriate!
Russia’s extreme winter temperatures did not, however, feature in a presentation which took members
on a most interesting tour of the iconic buildings for which St Petersburg and Moscow are renowned.
Nigel’s very well-illustrated talk gave members the opportunity to view the fascinating and highly colourful
architecture of two of Russia’s great cities through the eyes of a real expert.
