Bollywood came to Abbotts Ann this month courtesy of Annabel Brash from Farnborough. Apart from her day job, Annabel has been a fitness instructor for approximately 30 years and runs regular exercise classes including sessions in care homes.

We were back in the Village Hall for this month’s meeting following our summer break and our President Lynne Lucas welcomed all those attending. We started with a Minute’s silence in memory of our dear late Queen who sadly died on 8th September. Her Majesty had been a WI member for many years and, …
