Southend Branch The programme is usually available early in the New Year giving details of venues, mainly in Essex, occasionally Suffolk, Hertfordshire and Kent. The Branch is the last of several established in the 1950s, and initially provided funds just for the repair of local churches. Later on, amounts raised, principally now from the coach outings, are sent as a donation to central funds. We are proud to have maintained a local membership of over eighty for many years. This ensures full coaches on each of the outings and requires early booking to secure a place. Outings for 2013 Wednesday 17 April Hylands House, Norton Mandeville Church, lunch with Fyfield WI followed by Branch Annual General Meeting, Chipping Ongar Church Wednesday 15 May Great Bromley Church, Beth Chatto Gardens, Copford Church, tea with Heybridge WI Thursday 20 June Ely Cathedral Flower Festival Tuesday 24 September Wormingford Church, lunch with Mile End WI, Little Horkesley Church For further information please contact Mrs Betty Garrood (01702 557466, evenings preferred).
