APRIL

The meeting on 13 April started with our Speaker, Celia Guppy, who gave an interesting and informative talk on how to improve our Health and Wellbeing, with tips to destress and relax.  She has had a varied career as a hairdresser, fitness instructor and is now a Mindset Coach, encouraging people to think and maybe change the way we see ourselves.  She talked about the importance of hydration and eating and drinking in moderation.  

She engaged members in discussion and at the end talked us through a short relaxation session.  It worked well as a Zoom meeting but normally Celia would be talking to the group in person.  With the current Government rules on Covid, however, it is still not possible to meet inside the Hall as a group.

 

We are, though, able to shop more widely and go for that all important hair cut!  We are enjoying meeting up with a few friends or family outdoors, weather willing!!  A couple of groups of 6 have been arranged within the WI both in Leigh on Mendip and Stoke St Michael and members have really enjoyed this.  Mary has also sent out lots of local, County and National WI news, encouraging members to participate in the things of interest to them.

On 21 April we held a Zoom Social in the evening on the theme of The Queen, St George's Day and other saints!  

Thank you to Karen for hosting the night and the entertaining chat on the saints for various committee members!  It was lovely to hear our own stories about our "brush" with Royalty at various events.  Sue gave us some interesting facts about St George and their family tradition of giving a book on St George's Day.  This lead to a discussion on books that we had read and recommendations.

 

Our next meeting is on Monday 10 May, with a Zoom speaker, Marion Dale.  She is an award winning garden designer and horticultural expert.

Members are reminded that Subs are due.  Please contact Caroline if you wish to renew your membership.
