On Monday 11 February we have our next meeting – all about chocolate! Apparently, Coco Bella will bring some items to sell, too. Jane is very kindly preparing some information about Fair Trade for us to talk about after the break. I think it will be very interesting, so I hope you will be able to join in.
Also! Remember the food bank item, if you can, please!
In addition to reading the minutes of the last meeting, please will you think about the suggestion made last meeting to have some more tea towels or something with the Leigh on Mendip design ready for us to sell on our stall at the Village Fair?
The committee looked carefully at the options open to us and the majority decision was that the light cotton bag with short handles would be the best option as it would cost us roughly £100 for 50, and people would probably buy something like that for £2.80. Other ideas (apron, oven gloves, canvas bags....) would all be much more expensive. so, at the meeting we will ask you to vote for one of the following:
1. we should do nothing about it!
2. we buy 50 cotton, short handled bags to sell. Selling them all would give us £40 profit.
3. we wait until next year, when the tea towels will have faded a little and we may get more interest in a logo-ed item!
From County News there are several events you may like to attend – there will be a sheet for you to sign up: Spring Ramble 15 May, Spring Roadshows in April, Snowdrops at Litton, a performance of Acorn Antiques at Strode Theatre and a conference in Bristol on Women’s Rights.
On Tuesday 12 Feb the Strawberry Line WI at Cranmore have a speaker demonstrating Indian Cookery which looks very interesting. Jan P would like to go – is there anyone else who would like to join her?
On Thursday 14 March, Kilmersdon WI have a speaker from the TV programme ‘Homes Under the Hammer’. let us know on Monday if you would like to go!
23 March is the Hall Quiz night, so keep that night free and let's see if we can manage a little better than we did last year!
