We are a group of women who meet on the  fourth Thursday of the month in Pakefield Church Hall, beginning at 2.00pm, unless otherwise stated.

Our aims are:

*  Promoting friendship, support and social activities for women in the local community

*  Raising funds for our charitable causes.

All women are welcome (whether or not you are a wife !)

PAKEFIELD WIVES’ GROUP

After an opening prayer, Sheila read out the notices and the letters from EACH and Cancer Research acknowledging and thanking members for their donations.  Cancer Research vowed to “make the gift count”.

We have Bingo meetings perhaps twice a year, as we did on the 28^th March.  For thissession we had graduated to a state-of-the-art Thomas Super Select which displays on a screen the number called and Gay only has to press a button and the number comes up on the screen. On the reverse side, the winning numbers can be displayed and checked.  Not surprisingly, given the season, all the prizes were mainly chocolate.   There were hot cross buns and tea served by the committee for refreshments, during which the raffle was called.

Sheila presented Gay with a bouquet of seasonal flowers with thanks for providing entertainment for the meeting.

The next meeting is on the 25^th April when a representative from Pakefield Coast Watch will be telling us more about their work which is of very local interest based as they are in the old lighthouse outside Pontins.
