Illston on the Hill WI is back again! We are holding our Christmas Fayre on Saturday 26 November, 10am–1pm in the Village Hall. There will be crafts, gifts, cakes, cards, plants, cosmetics, jewellery, tombola, ‘loved again’ and our Master Bee Keeper.

It was a great opportunity for some children to try tennis for the first time and for other children to continue playing during the summer holidays. Over 150 children attended the sessions so it was a busy time for Mati and his coaching team!
