Our visit to Uffculme

We were warmly welcomed to Uffculme WI, despite arriving almost an hour early! Fortunately the Uffculme members were already there, preparing everything, and they very kindly made us all a cup of tea whilst we were waiting!
Our link with Uffculme was organised by Joan Collins! She used to live in Brixham and was a WI member here; when she moved it was agreed that we would keep in contact - and so we do!
The evening speaker was Janet Williams, a milliner, who told us about her career in hat making. She was very entertaining, demonstrated how she forms a brim and crown and then we were able to try on  all of her beautful hats! What a fabulous evening! Have a look at the website: hatsahead.com
We sat to have our head measured! The average head size is 22 1/2 inches! 


There was a bit of a scrum trying to try everything on! 

Here is Janet, our speaker.
