THIRTY years is a long time to be a contact leader in Farm Womens Club and so Zanna Johnston and Laura Brough have decided it is time to retire.

Cumbria-Borders members showed their gratitude to the ladies by presenting them with garden vouchers and bouquets of flowers at a recent meeting in Dalston.

This village has hosted FWC for many years and it would be such a shame if the club was allowed to fizzle out. The motto of Dalston is: "While I live Ill Crow" and maybe this sentiment should be adopted by our members to keep FWC thriving throughout the land!

The slide show at this meeting was second to none, a wonderful array of flowers and spectacular scenery appeared before our eyes accompanied by beautiful music courtesy of Richard Spiers. Patience is a virtue and Richards has been rewarded with photographs of rare butterflies, varieties of orchids and white clawed crayfish, all to be seen in Smardale Gill Nature Reserve.

I hope all those present felt that in spite of extreme difficulties this year, hope springs eternal and they will still be supporting each other with that special FWC friendship at regular meetings in 2002.
