Catford B team won its quarter-finals match against Yalding WI 2-1 on 17 April. Kay got the double 2 in the first game and Linda got the winning double 1 in the third game.
Urban Axe-throwing
An adventurous group of members had a great evening of axe-throwing at Whistle Punks, Vauxhall on 16 April. What fun they have had – and all limbs were safely accounted for at the end of the night!
Our April Meeting
One of our members, Vicky, talked about and demonstrated British Sign Language (BSL). We learned about the history of signing and what it means to be a BSL/English interpreter, and then Vicky taught us the fingerspelling alphabet and a few basic signs.
Tour of Southwark Cathedral
A group of members, family and friends enjoyed a guided tour of Southwark Cathedral on 24 March. Kate Boyle was our guide, and it was really interesting learning so much about the history of the cathedral and the local area.
Our March Meeting
Hannah and members of the Downham and Whitefoot Community Choir, including some of our own Catford WI members, were the highlight of our March meeting. It was very relaxing to listen to them sing, and after they'd performed we all had a chance to join in. Hannah led us in singing some rounds and it was great to hear everyone joining in.
Our February Meeting
Steve McGowan, of the newly formed London Search and Rescue, gave an interesting talk.
It is a charitable organisation that assists the police on the search for vulnerable missing people. We learnt how this volunteer organisation whose motto is, ‘100% professional in all but pay’, operates and is trained. He told us that every year in London 44,000 people go missing – equivalent to a small town.
