THE GREAT PLASTIC PICK UP<br />
The battle against plastic pollution launched by the Mail in May and supported<br />
by the Keep Britain Tidy organisation was a great success with school<br />
children across the country.<br />
It is now time for us adults to build on this initiative and to set a good example<br />
to our children by picking up the litter we see on the street outside our own homes. We<br />
have the duty to teach these - the future generations - by our example. John Butterworth<br />

Many members attended the East Sussex Federation of Women’s Institutes<br />
annual meeting at the Kings Church Hall on The Ridge where they enjoyed two<br />
very different talks which were both very entertaining.<br />
Our February speaker, Mr. Ken Brooks, gave us an interesting talk on “Hastings<br />
in Wartime – The British Spirit” telling us how the community was there to help<br />
everybody. This was followed by a short talk by firemen who came to advise us<br />

In March our talk was “Tales from the Time of the British Raj” and how it<br />
