Later in the year some students may have the opportunity to participate in some volunteer work, fundraising at street stalls and serving Devonshire Teas in the CWA rooms. “The students and ladies enjoyed getting to know each other, and the girls are looking forward to their future meetings. “They will be hearing from a range of special guest speakers and doing a range of cooking and craft activities,” said Linda.
