Meeting 11 December
LEIGH ON MENDIP WI
We were already getting ready
for the coming year at the December meeting with the tea rota to check to make
sure we were free on our allotted day and volunteers needed to sign up for
thanking the speakers. Names and money
were being taken for the visit to Shepton prison on January 13th, we
had a reminder about the WI birthday lunch at Barbara Turner’s house on Sat
February 3rd and were given advance warning of the annual village
clean up which would be on Sat 3rd March.
Two WI issues to address in
January. The suggestions for the Resolutions were in the current WI Life and we
were asked to fill in our choice on the slip there to bring to the January
meeting. Also at that meeting we should bring our subs for the coming year
which have gone up slightly to £41.
The talk called “Girl Cop”
was given by Sandy Osborne, the author of a fiction book of the same name and
its follow up. Sandy was still a serving police officer in Bath and had based
her stories on the area including her own real life experiences. She told us
how her writing career started and how difficult it had been to get published
and read us extracts from both the book and some of her writing for magazines.
The next meeting will be on
Monday January 8th at 7.30pm
