Our WI meeting on Thursday, 1st May 2014, for Resolutions Evening, was very well attended and members were able to enjoy a glass of wine, a “Guess the weight of the Cake” competition, for a delicious looking heart-shaped cake made by Caroline and won by Lilian Bryan, and scrumptious home-made cakes with tea and coffee for our regular refreshment break, all of which made for a highly enjoyable evening for all members.
Members produced some brightly wrapped jam jars for the school Fete for Saturday, 14th June 2014, and more are promised for our next WI Meeting on Thursday, 5th June 2014, when our speaker, William French, will be describing “Working with the Royals”.
Past, present and future WI and Community events were discussed and noted – please see Page details for Community events for May – and May Diary information.
Pauline read out list of National events and reminded members that these events must be paid for in advance with monies being returned for non-place availability
After the business of the meeting, there was a discussion and quiz for the WI Resolution for 2014 concerning organ donation.
Caroline had found the NHS Blood and Transplant website and discovered a quiz, plus answers, which was found to be both challenging and informative. In fact, all members were up-to-speed on general facts and most members easily answered all of the questions.
The ensuing lively table-group discussion encompassed general and particular shared experience which all members appreciated.
Members received the new WI Inspiring Women Programme for 2014/15 – a bright orange-coloured production to inspire a new year of exciting events and happenings.
Our next WI Meeting will be Thursday, 5th June 2014, at The Institute and our speaker will be William French on Working with the Royals.
