WOOLAVINGTON WI JULY MEETING REPORT
A smaller attendance than usual at the recent meeting due to sadly, illness and in happier circumstances, holidays and various family events such as wedding anniversaries and graduation ceremonies. Congratulations to those involved.
It has only been a few weeks since Glastonbury but Richard Raynesford and his wife Janet helped us to participate in the event from the comfort of our seats as we enjoyed seeing Glasto from a “villager's view”.
Richard and Janet have lived in Pilton for the last 30 years and thanks to the generosity of Michael Eavis receive free family tickets each year to enable them to attend this fantastic event.
Since its beginnings in 1970, with tickets priced at £1, the festival has grown in size and diversity. Members were surprised to hear there were 100 different stages contained on the 900 acre site by 8.5 miles of perimeter fencing and it is now the largest greenfield festival in the world.
Richard has taken many photos over the years enabling us to experience the sights, if not the sounds of this colourful event.
No meeting in August but the President's tea and summer outing to Bournemouth to look forward to.
Our next meeting on 16th September is open to all male or female, who have an interest in ornithology and/or photography, when we welcome John Crabb, who will share his fantastic pictures of birds in flight, many taken in his own garden.
