Weston Favell Evening WI
The January Meeting was held on Thursday 9th. Diane welcomed
us all to the first meeting of 2025 and we soon got down to business. She
thanked all those members who had sent thanks and Christmas cards to the
committee, they are much appreciated.
For those cooks amongst the members, The Pauline Duff Trophy 2025 is for
shortbread so do pick up an entry form next month. The recipe is provided
so off you go! At the Monday Me Time on Jan 13th, 2 - 4pm there will be a
quiz and Jenny will be talking about, and knitting, the items for the Yarn
Bombing for the Rugby World Cup later this year. Bring some 3.25 or 4
needles, a darning needle and scissors - wool will be provided of course,
tea or coffee and chocolate biscuits, but most of all, pop along for a
chat!
You may remember that back in September we had a lovely speaker who told
us all about the Baby Basics charity which supports Mums with a Moses
basket of things for them and their baby. We thought it would be a nice
gesture to support them so next month, if you would like to, please bring
along anything for the baskets. Mum amd baby shampoos, bath lotions, baby
grows, knitted hats or tops, disposable nappies, tissues and wipes - in
fact anything new baby related. Maybe even a box of chocolates to boost a
new mum!
The visit to Vintage Retreat is 11am on Jan 20th, there will be a visit to
see the snowdrops in February and of course a theatre trip to see Anton Du Beke
on April 1st - there are still some tickets available for this so please
contact Roz ASAP if you would like to go (01604 642650).
Two of our members are kindly starting a lunch club and the first
one will be on Feb 24th, 12.30 at the Bold Dragoon. It will be a brilliant
opportunity to have a meal together ( main course and tea/coffee £10 ) in
pleasant surroundings and time to meet with each other. It's bound to be a
great success and hopefully will be come a regular feature of our 'getting
togethers'. Book next meeting.
Well, we expected a speaker from the RSPCA to talk about the value of
having a pet. However at 5.15 they cancelled due to illness so we were
lucky to welcome Steve Dimmer again with a fascinating talk about Agatha
Christie - her life and crimes. Thank goodness he was free at such short
notice.
The Next meeting is on Thursday
13th February. The
speaker will be Kay Andrews who will give a talk
entitled Myths and Misconceptions of Canal Art and
the competition is Bring Something Red.
The next Monday Me Time will be on 17th February in the Hall from 2.30 till
4pm. If you would like to know more about our WI and join us
for an evening, please contact either the President Diane
Phillips on 01604 415678 or the Secretary Roz Quigley on 01604
642650. |
