| Women’s Institute. Men and women were invited to a talk by Detective Inspector Davey about Card Fraud, organized by Hullavington Women’s Institute last Wednesday. The WI President, Isobel Acott said: “This is such an important topic that anyone in the village who is not a WI member is most welcome.” The group of men and women felt it was a worthwhile subject to consider, as card thieves target certain groups so we all need to be vigilant. The talk was most thought –provoking and stimulated a good many questions. Kay Goodenough and Joan Charlton provided cakes for the teas, and the competition for pretty playing cards was won by … and Rosemary Mace. A group meeting will be held at Hullavington Village Hall on 31 October, with a talk by Mrs Clement about Toys and Games of Yesteryear. The next regular meeting will be on Wednesday 21 November when Mike Gann will talk about Cruising Down the Amazon. Here and There Elizabeth Parry-Williams, Hullavington’s Artist in Residence, collaborated with her husband Peter and two sons, Timothy and Hanno, to present an exhibition of works entitled Here and There, in Tetbury last weekend. Timothy displayed textiles and silks, whilst Peter and Hanno work together to produce tables and jewellery boxes. Elizabeth exhibited 60 pieces of work including paintings and drawings of India, Sri Lanka , Japan and Hullavington. She is currently exhibiting pictures in the Gallery on the Bridge at Castle Combe and in the Theatre Royal Bath Christmas Card Exhibition. Mrs Parry-Williams said: “ I was delighted by the support from the village. More than seventy people came along to the preview at different times, and we were very busy on the Sunday.” Fearless Mr Fox A young fox, loitering in gardens near the Star Inn, is unusually fearless. Frank Birlison, of The Street, said: “I saw the fox munching something under my bramley tree. I caught it in the beam of my torch and it was completely unworried. It started to walk towards me.” A similar fox was disturbed in broad daylight chasing hens in a nearby garden, where it has reduced a flock of 17 hens down to four.
