Members of Crowlas and Ludgvan WI were joined by ladies from other local WI’s for a productive day making silver jewellery. With tuition from Eddie at Penzance School of Art, we learned to use saws, pliers, hammers, solder and chemicals to produce our jewellery. A fantastic array of items developed over the course of the day, from earrings to rings, pendants and bangles, and everyone went home with something lovely to show off. Many thanks to Val Puddiphatt for organising the Workshop.

Carnon Downs Fashion Show
Members of Crowlas and Ludgvan W I joined dozens of other ladies from around the county for a fun filled evening at the CFWI Fashion Show at Carnon Downs Garden Centre. Our models Colleen and Shirley looked totally professional as they modelled their outfits on the catwalk and a great evening was had by all!
May Walk
Our walk, from Constantine Church afforded us another opportunity to admire the wild flowers. The hedgerows are certainly looking their colourful best this month.
Our route from the Church took us through the outskirts of the pretty village. We followed a stream along a sheltered valley before eventually entering woods by the remains of an old water mill. From there we had a steady climb through mainly beech woods and bluebells.
We made frequent stops to look not only at bluebells but other plants and wild flowers. Our walk ended back at the Church where we had a picnic in a good sunny but breezy spot. (Report by Shirley)

April Monthly Meeting
The April meeting Crowlas and Ludgvan W I brought speaker Juliet Taylor to the Murley Hall for a fascinating talk on upholstering the Houses of Parliament. As an interior designer, Juliet was able to give members a unique perspective on the red and green of the Houses of Commons and Lords in the Palace of Westminster from behind the scenes. This month’s competition, for a handmade cushion, brought a record number of entries, and an array of colourful handicrafts was put on display.
April Walk
Once again the weather was perfect for the circular walk from Scorrier. The countryside looked very fresh with wild flowers and new growth on the trees.
We were delighted that 3 members and 1 husband joined us for the first time – hopefully this will encourage more husbands, partners and friends to join us in May.
The 5 mile walk took us through woodland, farmland,small hamlets, past old mines and skirted industrial areas. The quiet roads, lanes and tracks eventually joined the Portreath to Devoran old tramway. Twice we crossed 2 high bridges over the busy A30 – a reminder of modern life! As usual we ended the morning with food and a well earned rest at The Fox and Hounds. (Report by Shirley. Photos by Pat)
