LEIGH ON MENDIP WI
A fairly low turnout for our
May meeting but it was a busy one. Members had taken part in several activities
including the fashion show at Standerwick, the Children’s Society coffee
morning and the ACWW walk round the quarry with tea and cakes back at Shelagh’s
afterwards. The latter had raised around £50 on the day towards the ACWW goat
purchase project and Barbara put out a collection plate for anyone who hadn’t
been on the walk but wanted to contribute. Looking ahead she had arranged
another walk, this one to go round Frome, starting at 6.30 on Wednesday 27th
July. The scrapbook was making good progress and the first Friday lunches were
still being well supported and will continue to be in the Bell until further
notice.
We then turned to the
Resolutions which Barbara read out for us including the cases for and against
them. We had a good discussion on both, the one concerning supermarkets sending
surplus food to charities to reduce waste and help those in need and the other
to get hospitals to allow people with dementia to have a relative or friend
stay with them when they went in for other reasons than their dementia. We
voted in favour of both Resolutions.
The AGM followed with the
financial, secretarial and President’s reports. We also needed to choose a
President for the coming year. Barbara was the only nominated member willing to
stand and will therefore continue as President for another year. The committee
has two vacancies but no one at the meeting wanted to join, if any member who
was not at the meeting is willing to do so then contact Barbara or any
committee member.
The next meeting will be on Monday
13th June at 7.30pm, when we will have our very own fashion show.
