Today was the day of the inaugural meeting and launch of the new Witley Court Society, which was held at the Witley Church Tearooms (in the conservatory) by kind permission of Mrs. Gill Edmonds, the proprietor of the establishment. A small, though quite impressive, exhibition of material relevant to Witley Court and its owning families was set up by the membership in order to give the visiting public a view of our activities. Sadly the weather, once again, kept people away in their droves, but we did receive some interest from those who came into the tearoom. We hope that this display will form the basis of our publicity for the future and it is envisaged that the tearoom will again play host to our society in the not-too-distant future, together with other venues. I am most grateful to all society members for their support, especially Sally & Paul Ludlow, Rod Sproat, Mark Brown, Rita Phillips, Alan Milward, Ruth Butler, Roger Wylde and Angela Snow who all helped out on the day, not forgetting Nancie Stansfield from the tearoom who supplied us with refreshments. The A.G.M. will be held at The Hundred House, Great Witley on Thursday 12th July 2012, at which meeting the affairs of the old P.F.R.S. will be officially wound-up and the new W.C.S. will come into being.
