<strong>Ditchling</strong> WI Held its New Year meeting on January 6 th <strong>2011</strong> in the Village hall.<br />
We had a fascinating talk, with slides, on Family Trees given by Roma Leon. It<br />
was made easy to follow as she used her own family history as an example.<br />
After the talk we had ‘flower <strong>of</strong> the month’, a raffle, and tea and biscuits.<br />
Our next meeting will be on <strong>February</strong> 3 rd at 2.30 pm in the Village Hall when Dr<br />
