Little Sutton Sapphires WI

What an eventful July the Sapphires have had. We not only where in the local Newspapers for hanging our braskets around our local village, but, also the National Newspapers ( Mail on Sunday) put some of our members into their newspaper. Some of the pikkies for you to see!

Women's Institute was running a competition along with Sutton Seeds to find unusual ways to promote flowers. A Bra was thought of and so became the "BRASKET" Little Sutton Sapphires WI, held a competition for members at their July meeting and a winner was picked to go forward to try and win £200 of sutton seeds. The winner was a sapphire member - Alison Hughes Members of the committee then Brasket bombed their village where the institute holds meetings. They where attached to railings which where just before traffic lights in the village, so drivers on their way to work this morning would see them.

We had an amazing speaker last night at our Little Sutton Sapphires meeting. Linda whitfield who had made a quilt for the 96 people who died at Hillsborough and had donated it to them. In the end the hillsborough families decided it should be something that everyone should be able to view and it was donated to the Museum of Liverpool. An inspiring talk by a lovely lady. Little Sutton Sapphires WI are very proud to have her as a member.

Several of our members attended afternoon tea at the Woodcote House Hotel in Ellesmere Port on 28th April to celebrate the Queens Birthday. Dress code was royalty and Red, White and Blue.
