President's Welcome Our title this month 'New Beginnings' is a very appropriate one. With many of us now having our first Covid jab it feels like a more positive future. The crocuses are poking up and at last we will see each other once again, even if it's virtually. Idle WI is going to be using technology that may be new to some of us with our zoom quiz. I hope you are looking forward to it just as much as I am. |
