After a very enjoyable outing to the Black Country Museum on May 2, Pant WI were back at the institute on June 6.
The speaker for the evening was Chris Bushnell – a trustee of the Montgomery Waterway Restoration Trust, a Friend of the Montgomery Canal, and a very committed volunteer involved in restoring the canal as well as maintaining those sections that are navigable.Chris’s talk was entitled ‘The Fall and Rise of the Montgomery Canal’. Members learned about the history of the canal and how its use declined with the arrival of the railway. Having been closed in 1944, its restoration started in 1969.
The competition was ‘Past or present canal photo’, Pam Craig came first, Eiry Roberts was second and Janet Jones was third. Pant WI usually meet on the first Thursday of every month at 7.15pm at Pant Memorial Institute. However, as the Institute will be in use as a polling station on July 4, they will meet next month at Llanymynech Church Hall where Amanda Roberts will be giving a talk about wellbeing and mindfulness.
