THERE was cause for celebration at this year's Allithwaite and Cartmel Spring Fair which marked three special anniversaries.

Among the plants, crafts and cakes on sale at the WI's annual gathering was a booklet produced by members to commemorate 100 years of the WI nationally, 95 years of Cartmel WI and 75 years since Allithwaite WI was founded.

President Glenda Clark said: "There was a very good turnout and we had delicious cream teas which I think everybody partook.

"Members brought plants along from their own gardens, and there was a display of craft items which celebrated the WI centenary."

A total of £950 was raised at the event held at Allithwaite Community Centre on Saturday (April 18).
