It is Bank Holiday Monday as I begin to write a summary of this month’s activities and as I sit here pondering what to say, I gaze out of the window at the dull grey, damp afternoon. Unfortunately the lawn cutting will have to wait a little longer, but my garden’s loss is the WI’s …

WI Newsletter – July 2012
Phew – we are at the height of Olympic fever as this Report is being penned and I am exhausted. We have had super Saturday and already today (Sunday) we have won two more gold medals in tennis and sailing, and who knows what else by the end of the day. It was the London …
WI Newsletter – June 2012
Whilst our members have enjoyed celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, we are exhausted with all the jubilations, goodness knows how Her Majesty feels as she continues with her busy schedule. Maybe that is why some of our members were waiting outside the pub before opening time. They were so keen they arrived at The Crown …
WI Newsletter – May 2012
As I write this newsletter we have just had the Jubilee Weekend, but it is the month of May that is being reflected upon here and what a month it has been. It literally started on the 1st of May with two of our members being lucky enough to secure places on a Hampshire Federation …

WI Newsletter – February 2012
Unfortunately, the snow put paid to our walking group venturing out this month, although not deep, crisp or even there was enough for us to decide not to take the risk as we don’t bounce back-up again so easily should we slip up. Shame, but we hope to pull our boots back on next month. …
WI Newsletter – January 2012
Members were delighted to be back in the Village Hall for a post-Christmas meal early this month, now that Christmas had come and gone once more, it was a delight to have our favourite caterers return to provide a lovely hot buffet. There was plenty of choice to suit all tastes, followed by scrumptious desserts. …
WI Newsletter – December 2011
Following a busy year, the members of Abbotts Ann WI had a relaxed December meeting. Pat Balam and Wendy Casson had kindly gathered together various snippets of information, amusing anecdotes and poignant memories with Christmas as the obvious theme. With help from a few other members, and with just one evening’s rehearsal, they were ready …
WI Newsletter – November 2011
The owner of Loosehanger Cheeses gave an interesting talk on how cheese is made and finished this off with a lovely tasting session. This small company is a true artisan cheese maker employing just seven people and all cheeses are handmade as witnessed from the photographs and presentation by its owner. Quite a few of …
