Congratulations to Yvonne and John Carter on the birth of their grandson on 4^{th January}

Eight Leigh members enjoyed the Group Carol Service, with a difference, at Kingstone Church, Rev. Dominic Stone led the prayers and poems were included, the traditional federation carol service at Lichfield was impressive as usual.

Dot Fuller has organised the compilation of a report on the history and life of Leigh W.I. for entry in the Staffordshire County Magazine- February issue. Encoustic Art, stained glass, Italian cookery and Silver work are subjects being studied at Denman College by members in January and February thanks to the “Awards for All” fund.

At our January meeting Les Penlington, now retired following 30 years in the Fire Service stepped in at short notice to give an interesting talk ( with slides) on “Safety in the home” He reminded us of basic rules and gave tips on dealing with small fires, smoke alarms, fire extinguishers etc. along with amusing anecdotes of his life in the service. He finished his talk on a serious note with slides of a house fire illustrating how the smoke layer comes down so quickly!
