THE Guild reopened on January 6, and the first meeting was business and social.

Due to repairs at the Corringham Village Hall, there will be no meeting for two weeks and we will resume on January 27 with a talk on pest control.

The Guild had a busy year in 2010 and raised a considerable amount of money for its two chosen charities, thanks to all the members that contributed by taking part in various events.

The committee would like to thank all the members for their generosity and wish you all a Happy New Year.
