Clare Hollingworth, the intrepid war correspondent, journalist and author, is the topic for Eydon Ladies' meeting on 17th June at 7.30pm in Eydon Village Hall.
She, as a young reporter, broke the news of the start of WWII, and led a fascinating life. Our speaker, Ken Bryan, knew Clare so this makes the evening particularly special.
Everyone is welcome to come to this event, husbands, partners, friends and family - guests pay just £5 which includes refreshments.

Last month's meeting, where we tasted three of Pinnock Distillery's fabulous gins, and a sneaky spiced rum, was a huge success. Lewis did a fabulous job of explaining how the gins were made and Kevin did a great job of handing round the samples and telling us about the Freespirit Pubs family.
Many thanks both of you!

Andrew North's talk on the history of opera was fascinating. He illustrated it beautifully with music from operas over the centuries and held the audience spellbound.
Our next meeting is on 20 May at 7.30pm in Eydon Village Hall. It's for ladies only and non members are welcome (paying just £5 including refreshments)

We are going to sample Pinnock Distillery's gin! There will be an opportunity to purchase your favourite once we've finished tasting. So come along and enjoy a relaxing evening - the gin tasting will be followed by the usual refreshments and, no doubt, lots of chatting.

Last month we enjoyed a successful 'away day' to Moreton Pinkney Village Hall, where we received a warm welcome, tried our hand at short mat bowls and had an invitation to return - so we couldn't have been too bad!
In April we are returning to our usual home of Eydon Village Hall.

Our efforts will be rewarded by tea and biscuits at the end of the evening.

Nancy gave a fascinating and informative talk on the influences which have shaped our local landscape to our well attended open meeting in November. She covered events from the Ice Age to modern times and I think it's fair to say we will all look at our surroundings with new eyes now. We started to get into the festive spirit with mulled wine and mince pies, certainly very welcome on a very cold evening.
Our next meeting is the Eydon Ladies Christmas party in December which is for members only.
