Leigh-on-Mendip WI

 

In May we hold our Annual Meeting. The year’s final accounts were agreed.  The Secretary’s Report covered the many and varied activities we had enjoyed.  We then heard the President’s Address, thanking the committee and all the members for their part in keeping us going and for the running of several sub-groups in between our regular meetings.  An official voting in of 3 additional Committee members was agreed and Caroline was voted in as our President for another year.  We look forward to the coming months.

The topic for the WI National Resolution is “Dental Health Matters", on which all members have a vote.  After discussion our members were generally in agreement with the Resolution, but giving our delegate the power to vote once she has heard from the expert speakers at the WI Annual meeting which will take place in London in June. We look forward to following this online on 5 June in The Bell Skittle Alley.

Refreshments were available including, of course, some delicious cakes!  During this time members were able to look through a display of our Archives, photo albums and other items.  It was fun finding old photos of current members and previous events.  Members had been encouraged to bring a small item, which was precious to them.  These were on display and several ladies spoke about their items and why they were special.

The following week we spent a wonderful evening at Still Sisters in Frome. We listened to a talk on the history of Gin and then enjoyed tasting Still Sisters unique Gin and cocktails.  We will definitely be back for another visit!

We are a group of approx. 40 ladies of wide-ranging ages and interests.  We meet on the 2nd Monday of each month at 7.30m in the Memorial Hall. Visitors are always very welcome.  If you would like to come along to meet us please just turn up or contact Caroline on 01373 812889.
