tiaras and feathers
Margaret Duffy brought an extensive selection of her feather fascinators and showed examples of the different types of feathers she uses. She used the audience as models, matching her creations to the colour of each selected outfit, each 'model' then gave a cat walk display around the hall. Many of us wished that we had a function coming up that required such lovely headgear.

As the birthday party buffet was rearranged to the May meeting we enjoyed a selection of cakes with coffee.
Several members had been at the Spring Council meeting in Torquay that day where Jean's witty and original knitted hat failed to win a prize, in fact we were unlucky with any of the prizes or draws.
Beryl gave a detailed account of the day and Kate Humble's talk. She urged more people to attend Devon council meetings.
Each member was able to take home a slip with the dates and details of all the forthcoming events. Details of activities organised by the Devon Federation can be found here
A vote on whether to continue to read out the minutes or instead to have a printed copy resulted in no overall consensus.
Marian updated the meeting on her visit to the Presidents' day held at Westpoint.
