This picture from Keith Bonsor’s collection was taken in the Womens Institute Hall in the early 1960’s. Standing at the back is Mrs Hobbs who was a pianist well known on the Island for playing in orchestras and giving lessons. Immediately in front of her is Keith’s mother Margaret.
There is a great array of cakes and nibbles in the front. We are not sure what the occasion was but they had fetes, bazaars and sponge competitions where Mr Grout was the judge.
If anyone tell us the occasion or name any of the other ladies please comment below.

emailed in: Looking at it I think they are possibly celebrating an anniversary of the opening. It looks like there are daffodils on the table. It could be a landmark birthday eg. 25 years.
How lovely to see a picture of Mrs Hobbs who was my piano teacher when I was young. Her teaching was very good and I went on to become a music teacher myself working in the local junior schools in Langdon Hills. I am now retired
Hi Keith: Are you related to Ernie Bonsor who was seriously injured in a plane crash in the 1940’s ??? Gerald Hudson
