We were signing up for things again at the July
meeting. Volunteers were needed for a History of the WI event at Radstock
museum from the 15th Sept to 29th November, for the
Centenary group meeting at Leigh on 16th September and to help with
the coffee mornings in September and October. We also needed to decide what
food item we were bringing to the President’s evening on August 3rd
if we were coming to that.
For later in the year we were reminded about the Wells
Carol Service on Dec 9th, decide if you want to go by Sept meeting,
and that orders were being sent off for the WI calendars and diaries.
Some of the non-WI items were information about the
Step in Stone art based scheme being run in our local quarries and a petition
to sign to try and stop the cancellation of the 161, the only bus serving
Leigh, which is due to finish at the end of August.
Our talk was from Ali Morgan
who had volunteered as a human rights observer in the West Bank. She showed us
her photos taken of both the local Palestinian people and some of the Israeli
soldiers who are an unwelcome presence in their villages. She also told us a
lot about the origins of the Jewish State and the overall situation in the
area. It was obviously a very serious and complicated subject but we all gained
some insight into the problem to add to what we already knew about it.
No ordinary meeting in
August but we look forward to the President’s evening, see above. The meeting
on 14th September at 7.30 will include a Decopatch Taster session.
