We received a lovely email from Kamran Irani thanking us for our donations to blood bikers. Ladies generously put £133.10 in their collecting tin and the WI gave a donation of £75. Making a total of £208.10. This amount is enough to fuel one of the duty marked motorcycle approximately 20 times which will complete 67 call outs.

We were delighted to have Hayley from ‘The Forensic Experience’ as the speaker for our July meeting. She gave a fascinating insight into the world of crime scene investigation and what goes on behind the yellow tape. Her presentation was extremely interesting and held our members attention throughout, prompting many questions and much discussion regarding her work and background. She intrigued us with some of the methods used by CSI, demonstrated how finger marks are revealed, and made us laugh over some of the hilarious mistakes made by criminals.
