Swans W.I. - October Meeting​

 

We had no idea of the treat in store for us when we listened to Ian Caskie talk about the SS Great Britain. Brunel’s SS Great Britain is one of the most important historic ships in the world and when she was launched in 1843, she was called ‘the greatest experiment since the creation’. Ian, a Visitor Experience Volunteer for the Trust, enthusiastically brought the history and the restoration of the great ship alive for us. We were all left wanting to visit the museum in Bristol to experience for ourselves the sights, sounds and smells of life on board SS Great Britain in the 19th century.

​

SWANS business was then swiftly dealt with, with thanks as always, going to our members who provided us with a variety of delicious refreshments.

​

Come along and join us for our next meeting which will be held on 7 November at Wilton Community Centre at 2pm. Our guest speaker, Lindsay West will most probably be tying us in knots as she talks about the art of Scarf Tying.
