Thankfully, our speaker for this meeting brought along with her a touch of spring and the promise of summer, which was very welcome as it was a very cold evening with the continuing threat of snow flurries outside.

WI Newsletter – January 2005
This month has had an international flavour about it – just the ticket to cheer us all up, during the long month of January. Members came along to the first meeting of 2005, knowing that they would be transported to the other side of the World, if not literally then metaphorically at least, by George …

WI Newsletter – July 2004
For our July meeting we tried something new – a themed evening. The theme we decided upon was holidays, so we came suitably dressed, with six members volunteering to share their experiences whilst travelling round the globe. However, to get us in the mood we started by playing Summer Holiday by Cliff Richard, and then …
WI Newsletter – June 2004
We have hardly had time to breath this month, with so many events. At the beginning of June, three of us travelled to Hatch Warren WI for their 11th birthday celebrations, which had a rabbit theme. The hard work and enthusiasm of this young, small Institute resulted in a very successful evening. Their trump card …
