Anne, Liz and Linda thoroughly enjoyed the Glamorgan Federation Spring walk at Penarth on 11th May. It was a Murder Mystery theme and they had 23 clues to solve to find out who did it and with what weapon! It was a lovely day for a walk, if a bit hazy across the channel, and they saw parts of Penarth that they hadn’t seen before, with stunning views in places.

Paul Kirner's Music Palace, Ynys Hir
On April 9th a large group of Whitchurch Wi members boarded the coach to take them to Paul Kirner's Music Palace, in Ynys Hir. This is a museum in a converted chapel, that collects and celebrates the cinema organ that used to accompany silent films.
We were amazed by the size and range of pipes, glockenspiels, percussions instriuments, foley equipment and more, hidden behind and alongside the display screen. Two large organs took it in turns to be centre stage, rising up and gliding down on lifts.
A group of gentlemen looked after the WI ladies, with most of the presentation being given by Ben Snowdon. He explained the history of the Music Palace, described the various organs on display, and entertained us with a range of musical pieces on several of the organs.
