The Christmas party at Tunstall WI December meeting was well attended and enjoyed with the help of the entertainers St Columbas Players giving a lively Christmas programme with members joining in with the singing. A tasty buffet, again prepared by vice-president Anne Gray and cake made by Janice Speight was enjoyed and appreciated by the members.
