LEIGH ON MENDIP WI
Some final arrangements were
made for Christmas events at our November meeting. We were reminded about the
Secret Santa presents for the Christmas meal and to make our food choices if
not already done. The Carol Concert in Kilmersdon clashed with the monthly
lunch in the Bell on Friday 2nd Dec but it was decided to go ahead
with the latter albeit at the later time of 12.45. The FOLC Christmas fair
would take place on Friday 9th December and members were asked to
make cakes to pass to Barbara who is running a cake stall there or at least to
come along between 6 and 9pm. That weekend too is the Christmas tree festival
in the church where the WI entry on a Scandinavian theme will be on display
with the others.
As mentioned last month
don’t forget the Denman fundraiser breakfast at Barbara’s house on 13th January
from 10am, entry £5. Also in January will be our 68th birthday party
on the afternoon of Sunday 29th when we will enjoy tea and cakes
along with any friends, partners etc. who would like to join us. Venue to be
decided. Finally if you have any old unused spectacles Caroline would love to
receive them for her recycling project.
Our speaker session in
November was very different to most. A
laughter therapist led us through many different exercises which were basically
just making ourselves laugh but interacting with each other. Research has shown
that the many advantages of laughter which include stress and depression relief
are just as effective with “pretend” laughter as the natural kind. I think some
of us may have felt a little silly at first but it was surprisingly easy to get
into the spirit of things and just laugh!
Our next meeting will be on
Monday 12th December at 7.30pm when fellow members will help us make
Christmas cards and we will hear about the choices for the Resolutions.
