While the title of Julia Bovee’s talk for the Shiskine SWI was simply “Fashion”, the presentation covered a far wider subject which kept the audience at the October meeting enthralled.
Listeners enjoyed hearing about a subject they are all interested in which also featured information and slides about costumes Julia had made during her time on the opera circuit.
Members described Julia as a talented and interesting lady and her talk elicited many questions and much interest from the audience.
Following the talk, the October competition winners were announced. The subject was anything with a main ingredient of brambles and the winners were: 1 Elma Judge; 2 Elizabeth Kelso; 3 Esther Henderson.
The exhibition was of favourite earrings and the winners were: 1 Elizabeth Kelso; 2 Joan Stewart; 3 Jenni Turnbull.
The November meeting of Shiskine SWI will take place on Wednesday November 1 when author Colin Turbett will give a talk entitled “War Tales”. The competition for November is soup and the exhibition is of black and white photographs.
Everyone welcome.
