Elderflower wine and flowers marks 50th anniversary of Mr and Mrs Pollock

President Audrey Kennedy has been in contact regularly with all Institute members. “They are all are doing well,” she revealed.

During July one member celebrated her golden wedding anniversary, 50 years of marriage, which is a wonderful achievement.

Elizabeth nee. Davison married Edgar Pollock at Lurgan Baptist Church on the 11th July 1970.

President Audrey Kennedy and Vice President Caroline Whitten and member Carol Partridge surprised Elizabeth with congratulations of cards and a beautiful plant to acknowledge this momentous occasion.

“Unfortunately Edgar, Elizabeths husband was working on the farm at this time. We had a lovely afternoon and celebrated at social distancing with some Elderflower wine made by Elizabeths sister Madge Tate who is also a member of Laurelvale W.I. institute,” said Audrey.
