Somerset Annual Meeting in Yeovil

Five of us spent the day at the SCFWI Annual Meeting in Yeovil today. The hall was jam packed full of Somerset WI members and there were eye catching displays from each of the county committees, showing what a wide range of activities are available to us. An overwhelming number of shoe boxes had been filled for the Bridgwater and Glastonbury YMCA, there was a delightful variety of decorated  T shirts to admire as well as the usual trading post stall and tempting produce from the WI markets. You may want to save the last weekend of October 2014 so that you can participate in the Somerset Federation visit to Denman College. They have a very varied and enticing range of courses on offer for us.
In the morning we listened to talks from some very inspiring Somerset WI members describing what they have achieved this year through the WI. We also heard from Janice Langley, the NFWI chair about the plans for an inclusive 2015 centenary AGM and celebration, which sounds like a lot of fun.
We shall also be able to participate in Somerset's celebrations to mark the centenary: 'Alice in WI Land' which promises to give a lot of laughs!

The top two T shirts!
