ESSEX WEST TREFOIL GUILD ANNUAL REVIEW

n Saturday 5th March 55 members of Essex West Guilds gathered
together at the Ugley Village Hall for their Annual Review. They were
joined by special guests, Heather Asker, Mayor of Saffron Walden and
her mother; Chris Skinner, our new County Commissioner; new County
President Margaret Henderson with her husband David; Jean Pinner L.O.B
and our office staff Sylvia and Norma.
Members heard a report about the variety of activities and visits undertaken by the Guilds during the past year and also the numerous challenges
members set themselves in order to gain the new Voyager Award.

Chris presented Bronze Awards to
Gina Grieg and Wendy Henshaw
bringing the total who have completed
to nine so far, with nine more still
working hard. We enjoyed reading the
