Meeting 13 January 2020


A very different WI meeting in January. When we arrived instead of the usual rows of chairs there were tables set out at intervals in the Hall with a few chairs at each. One had a questionnaire to find out what we would like from our WI going forward, another had sheets in quiz format where we had to find out who fitted the various questions such as who had been a hairdresser, who was in a choir etc., all designed to get us talking to ladies we may not usually socialise with and get to know each other a little better. This worked brilliantly and members had some really interesting conversations.  The other tables had the makings of name badges which we are going to wear at future meetings, some of the photo albums to look at and facilities to pay various dues such as money for the snowdrop outing and our annual subs.

Then after refreshments we turned to the business matters. Ideas are needed for the format of the Group Social which we are hosting on Monday 29th of June. Various items were pointed out in the County News with events such as a Broadway songs revue and supper, a crime mystery dinner and a WW1 Social History lunch, see your copy for details. Nearer to home early notice was given for the Hall quiz on Saturday 21st March which Mary hoped we could raise at least one team for. Also local was the suggestion of a WI book group so if anyone is interested in any of these do let a committee member know either before or at the next meeting. Finally it looks as if there may be a small change to Leigh on Mendip WI. Evidently many institutes have changed their name to try and give a more modern and representative impression of who they are and members voted in favour of taking this idea further.
