Meeting 12 February 2018


Two appeals for help first. We need a new representative to attend the monthly Fete meetings. It’s important we are involved in the Fete as it is by far our main source of income during the year. This time as well as selling ice cream, Pimms and Mocktails we will be running the adult tombola so will need donations for that nearer the time. The second appeal is for two people to take our banner to the Parade in Wells on 28 April, see the latest County News. If you can help with either of these please contact President Sue Rodford on 812766 or any committee member.

Don’t forget the usual monthly lunch in the Bell on Friday 2nd March and the village clean up on Sat 3rd. The latter will start from the Hall at 2pm where you will be allocated an area to litter pick. Refreshments will be available back at the Hall from 3pm.

We are going to take part in the WI photo competition so keep that in mind and take your snaps at any WI involved activity in the coming months. Our 12 photos will be chosen at the end of the year. Finally would you like to attend a course at Denman our WI headquarters college? There is currently a £150 bursary towards the costs on offer with one person interested at the moment. This would be shared if more than one applicant. Contact Mary Mears if you need any information on what courses are available.

After the business matters our entertainment was a Valentine card workshop led by member Jeni Francis. This was very well organised with a good variety of materials provided to use to decorate the cards and produced some lovely results.

At the next meeting on Monday March 12th we will hear an “amusing?” talk on composting from Steve Mynard.

69 Years Young!

On Saturday we celebrated Leigh on Mendip's 69th Birthday with a Ploughman's Lunch for members at Barbara's house.

Some of the Food - but where are the Puds???

We had lovely cheese, ham, breads & salad to start.

Followed by a scrummy selection of puds.

But first we raised our glasses and sang "Happy Birthday"!!


Many of our members & some new people to the Village were able to come.  Many thanks to Barbara for hosting this event.



Empty plates & happy smiles - must have been good.
