The W.I. Membury Fort Group Carol Service was held in St. Nicholas Church on Monday 7th December.

Members of the four Institutes, Aldbourne, Baydon, Chilton Foliat and Ramsbury, sang traditional carols accompanied on the keyboard by Moya Dickinson.

Poems and prose on the theme of “Families – the distaff side” were read by Annette Jerran (Aldbourne); Christine Ralph and Pat Mapstone (Baydon); Marion Barber (Chilton Foliat); and Maureen Palmer and Rosalie Winter (Ramsbury).

The Aldbourne W.I. Choir performed three musical items.

A total of £120 was collected and will be donated to the Thamesdown Hydrotherapy Pool in Swindon.

The service ended with a closing message from Heather Athawes followed by mince pies and coffee.
