It has been a busy summer
for the W.I. with lots of events taking place. There were several
outings in June, all in glorious weather. An evening meal at the Angel
Vaults, the final photographs taken for the Landscape Project and
the Reading Group spent the day at the seaside at a member's beach
hut where books about the sea were discussed - amongst other topics.
In July there was an open meeting for the Air Ambulance funds, our
charity for this year. The speaker was excellent and gave a comprehensive
account of the history, activities and fund raising necessary as there
is no funding from the Government. So, we were pleased to raise £100
from the Bring & Buy and Raffle. July also saw lots of baking
done for the Show and Carnival teas, many thanks to those who supported
them.
The August meeting was a themed French evening. The hall was decorated
with Tricolores and posters, French music played in the background
and two quizzes kept everyone busy before tapenade, cheese, baguettes,
wine and soft drinks were served. There were some games needing quick
reflexes before the parade of the decorated bras, all done in the
best possible taste and very funny.
The Federation headquarters has moved to Park Farm, Fornham St. Genevieve
and a visit for afternoon tea has been arranged for the 17th.
The WI meets every second Tuesday in the W.I Hall at 7.30pm and new
