WOMEN’S INSTITUTE: The ladies of Sutton and Barnby Moor WI appeared before a magistrate on the evening of Wednesday 15th July when they met in Sutton Village Hall.
The group were present, not for any demeanours but to try and understand and absorb the rudiments of belly dancing which the visiting guest Magistrate Alison Clark would try to teach them. Shyness at first but then no shortage of volunteers as the ladies came forward to try their skills at this ancient ritual, normally associated with Egypt and the Middle East. A very enjoyable evening for both members and tutor who advised: More practice required!
