It was great to get together for the February Meeting of the Weston Favell Evening WI after the cancellation of the January meeting. Jacquie soon got everything underway and explained how we are going to take on the challenge this year of raising funds for both the Federation and our own WI. We have been sent £10 from the federation and we are going to use that towards setting up a special fund raising raffle which will take place at the June meeting. We will search out some smashing raffle prizes for that evening and the proceeds, after we have returned the £10 sent to us, will be split 50-50 between the Federation and ourselves.

Jenny gave an update on the Monday Me Time afternoon which will take place on February 16th when there will be a quiz and knitting! We have been asked to knit fruit and vegetables which will be displayed in the town centre later in the year, several members have already been busy and some of their creations were on dislay on the the competion table for people to look at later on. Who knew you could knit sweetcorn a tomato and some awesome daffodills. Do come along on Monday afternoon if you are free, even if you don't want to do the quiz or brandish knitting needles. It's a great time to share a cup of tea a biscuit and lots of chat!

Although the annual subscription doesn't need to be paid until April, Jacquie was able to reassure members that, although the official figure is £54 for the year, due to your help in fundraising we hope to be able to subsidise everyone by £6 so that your subscription in April will be £48.

Lots of things in the pipeline over the next couple of months including the next Lunch Club on February 23rd and a visit to tour All Saints Church in the town centre at 11am on February 25th. If you would like to be included in the church visit please let Roz know ASAP and she will ensure that Sue, who is organising this, knows of your interest. Later in the year on May 27th, there is a 'Scandalous Georgians' guided tour around Delapre Abbey starting at 10am so if you are interested in that, the board will be available again next month.

We were entertained by Steve Dimmer who gave us a most amusing talk about June Whitfield, lots of clips from TV shows and lots of information about her life. Next month will be our Annual Meeting so there won't be a speaker but its an opportunity to find out what we've done in the past year and what we plan for the next year. We do hope you can make it.
