Hello Ladies

I hope that you are all keeping well and are able to join us at our next meeting on 6th October for our Abba evening. Cheryl has arranged a sing along and I have a quiz.

It is also our 11th Birthday so there will be cake too so remember to bring along your forks and mugs.

Sign up sheets will be available for the carol service at Southwark Cathedral, the evening at Romford Dogs, the wreath/table display making (either £10 0r £5) and the Christmas meal (£5 non refundable deposit).

Our monthly meetings are now open to new members. Pro rate fees for the second half of this year to new WI members is £17.

 Update 17th September 2021

It was great to see so many of you back in the hall after the summer break and to enjoy a social evening with delicious fish and chips. Thank you to Sheila for organising the meal.

There were several sign up sheets available so contact us if you wish to be added to the following:

Wreath or flower table display with Bonnie.

Attend a Christmas concert at Southwark cathedral.

Visit Romford Dogs.

Please amend your diaries.

Our meeting scheduled for 1st December has had to be postponed to the 8th. In order for the Duo to be able to entertain us, Cheryl has been able to swap them to 3rd November and Bonnie will now give her floristry demonstration on 8th December. We apologise for this change.

The theme for our next meeting on  6th October is ABBA. 

We welcome visitors and new members to this meeting.

Fish and Chip Supper, Thursday 2nd September at 7 pm.

Hello Everyone

The good news is that we are no longer restricted by attendance numbers and that we can all get together again with fewer Covid restrictions. Masks and sanitiser will be available for your use when moving about around the hall.

The fish and chips are due to arrive at 7.30 pm along with sachets of salt and vinegar. If you have a favourite sauce then you are welcome to bring that along. Please bring your own cutlery and a mug for tea or coffee. Yes, the kitchen is now available! 

Those members or visitors who have not booked fish and chips are welcome to bring along their own supper.

This will be a relaxing social evening for all to catch up.

See you there.

 Annual Meeting 7th July 2021

Hello Everyone.

Yes, it's been a long time coming but we will be back at Ripple Centre on Wednesday 7th July 2021.

We will start at 7 pm so please arrive about 10 minutes early to allow time to sign in.

I am so sorry, but due to Covid restrictions there is only capacity for 30 so do not turn up if you have not had your registration confirmed as you will not be allowed in. Sadly, visitors and guests can not be invited on this occasion either.

Further details will be emailed to members.

 Hello Everyone!

I hope that you are all keeping well and looking forward to returning to Ripple Hall, hopefully, in July when we plan to have a social get together. All details will be emailed to members.

In the meantime all our groups will continue to meet on Zoom, and fingers crossed, in the park in the near future.

Subscriptions (£34) are due in April. 

Enjoy the Spring sunshine in between the showers!

Best wishes

Dora
