The next Wye Valley Women meeting will be in the Village Hall on Tuesday 17th September at 7:30pm, when the speaker will be Sue Falconer who will be well known to many in the village.  Sue’s talk is entitled “Quilting not Patchwork”

Quilting is a centuries old skill.  After a brief, illustrated history of this fascinating, skill Sue will outline the main hand quilting techniques and their potential uses. Samples of different techniques and a range of quilted items will be on display.

Meet as usual at 9:30am outside the Village Hall.

Please wear clothing suitable for the weather conditions and sensible footwear.

Everyone welcome, including dogs on leads.

On Tuesday 2nd July we will meet as usual at 9:30am outside the Village Hall and go for a short 2-3 mile walk locally.  We’ll decide nearer the day on the exact route, depending on the weather, but it won’t be strenuous.

Toffees and mint imperials will be provided!

Information on Wye Valley Women

The Wye Valley Women’s monthly Walk and Talk will take place on Tuesday 4th June. 

Please note we are meeting at a different time and venue from usual.

The group will meet at Trellech Methodist Church car park at 11.00.  From The Narth you can catch the 10.46 bus.

The walk will be about 3 miles, flat and only a couple of stiles to negotiate.

We will head over to Trellech Tump then onto the busy B4293 for 100yrds past Trellech Surgery to cross a couple of fields (one of which is Wet Meadow reserve managed by Monmouthshire Meadows Group).   Finally on good forest tracks to reach the GWT New Grove Meadows reserve hopefully to see a wonderful display of wild orchids.  Don’t forget your camera!

You can return to The Narth on the 13.40 bus.

Sturdy footwear is advisable and dress for the weather!

For further information contact Jill on 01600 860684.

The timing of the walk means that those who wish could have a pub lunch at The Lion.  Please let Jane know if you would like to do this and they will book a table – 861974

The WVW’s May Walk & Talk will take place on Tuesday 7th May.  Meet outside the Village Hall at 9:30am.  The walk is just under 3 miles with one stile and some (but not too much) undulation!  We’ll be heading towards Pen-y-Fan through the woods.  The wildflowers, especially the bluebells, should be looking splendid.  We will pass through an area of rather exotic non-native trees … perhaps a Victorian plant collector’s garden?  It would be interesting to learn more from anyone who knows the background.

Sturdy footwear is advised, and dress for the weather!

As always, liquorice allsorts and mint imperials will be provided!!

For further information, ring Jane on 861974.
