Wetherby WI members held a coffee morning at the Town Hall and put on show displays of its history and changes of the group.

One member commented: “Oh how the fashions have changed. So glad we no longer wear suits, hats and gloves to our monthly meetings.”

The group, which started in 1943, now has 30 members who enjoy a variety of activities.
