DVD with a Word Document full of images and information from an exhibition commemorating the 90th anniversary of Wolsingham W.I., 2008 A printed copy of the document is with the DVD. Various items of memorabilia were scanned and printed and mounted on exhibition boards. Almost all of the images, captions and additional information in the exhibition was then included in a Word Document (along with images of further material). The original documents that were scanned for the exhibition all presumably still exist. The one item missing from the document is a photograph captioned 'Wolsingham WI Market June 1987'; this is included in this archive separately as D/Wi 3/151/7. There were a couple of differences between the exhibition and the document: Page 2 Carnival Float captioned '1936 WI Float (From Mrs Barnett)', 'Mr Cook (standing), Mrs Elliott (Mrs Barnett's mother), Mrs Proud, Mrs Shaw, Mrs Lambert(Gladys' mam)'. Another loose paper is inscribed 'Man Mr Cook, Mrs Elliott back left, Mrs Proud front left, Mrs Shaw right back, Mrs Lambert (Gladys' mam) right front'. Page 3 Annie Bee's Garden Party. A sheet was attached on the exhibition for names to be added. These have then been typed into the document but Hazel Nayper has been mis-typed as Wayper. The photograph was labelled 'Marjorie Anderson's Copy'. Page 7 The account of visiting Boulogne Sur Mer includes the heading 'Boulogne-sur-Mer' and is inscribed 'Mrs I Lister's WI trip to France'. An attached Post-it note is inscribed 'We all enjoyed the trip to Boulogne; the crossing and meal on arriving were perfect'.
