During the evening there was a Traidcraft stall which did a very brisk trade and there was an exhibition of many items from the Far East, see picture.
A report was given on the recent Federation skittles competition in which Oakley and Deane came third and details were given of the many forthcoming events. These include a jumble sale in Oakley, the Federation Spring meeting in Portsmouth where Janet Street-Porter will be a guest speaker, the group Spring meeting which this year is being held at the Loddon Vale Bowls Club, a trip to Oxford in May and an outing to the races in August.
