DARBY AND JOAN: The May meeting, held in The Parish Hall, The Walks, was opened by team leader Anne Wallis with the usual business and names being taken for an outing to Althorp House in Northamptonshire, the family home of the late Princess of Wales where she is buried in the grounds. The trip is on July 10. The entertainment was provided by a visit from the Warboys Warblers. The musical group’s session ended with a sing-a-long of all the old and well-loved favourites.INFORMATION: The next meeting is on Wednesday, June 5, in The Parish Hall at 2.30pm. New members are always welcome. For more information about the club and its activities, call Anne on 01480 458935.

HOLYWELL-CUM- NEEDINGWORTHWINE SOCIETY: Fifteen members met on May 17 at the home of Sue and Arthur Chappell for a blind tasting of commercial and home-made wines. Tasters were invited to decide which were home-made or commercial and suggest the fruit or type of grape, country of origin and year of production. An Italian wine costing nearly £12 did not find favour. A wine made from rice, which was provided by the host, completely fooled everyone. Guests were also asked to contribute a cheese. This made for a very interesting buffet.

THE LEYS: When presented with a hammer, a wooden board, a piece of white cloth and a selection of flowers at the May meeting, members didn’t know what to expect. Flower pounding is what they were about to try. After some very noisy hammering of flowers and a lot of laughter, the results were surprisingly good. The colourful image of the flowers had been transferred onto the cloth and not beaten to a pulp as expected. Two artistic members, who had guided the group to such an enjoyable evening, showed what could be achieved with practice.

GOLD TOOTH: A Huntingdonshire dentist has been recognised by the British Dental Association (BDA) for a decade of high standards.Huntingdon House Dental Practice, in Huntingdon Street, St Neots, was awarded gold membership to the BDA’s Good Practice Scheme for maintaining membership for 10 years.
