As well as holding a party to commemorate the occasion, the group has now placed two flower barrels next to a seat it had previously commissioned, outside the village’s library on the corner of Chapel Street.

The seat was put in the position to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the group.

The barrels have been planted with a variety of flowers and shrubs that will be looked after by the women from the group.
