MERRY Wives is a group of ladies who meet fortnightly on a Tuesday evening at the Methodist church in Alcester where we usually start at 8pm. The bookings secretaries organise an interesting and diverse schedule of entertainment which often takes the form of a good speaker. Everyone is welcome to our meetings and we look forward to seeing you all soon to join us in a couple of hours of quality entertainment.

The November meeting featured a display of floral excellence by Sonia Buesing of Alcester Flowers. Since few of the members were floral artists, they were very impressed by the expertise on show. Sonia made a total of seven arrangements, varying from a fresh modern display of green flowers to a gorgeous table centre of nearly a metre long.
