Next Meeting December 14th at 7pm

Bonnie welcomed 34 ladies to the November meeting where we had a mix of entertainment including country dancing, singing and ukulele, fun and laughter was had by all.

A couple of things to note, the December meeting is on the 14th of the month where we will have party games and a bring and share food for the table you are sitting on. This is your opportunity to dig out those Christmas jumpers or wear Christmas colours.

We will have a stall at the Valence House Christmas Market on the 10th December.

In January we will be opening up the meeting for guests and visitors as we have a band coming to entertain us.  This meeting is open to all who wish to attend.

 

A Special Event for the New Year!

WI  AUCTION

We celebrated our second meeting of the year with an auction. Cheryl resurrected her previous role as an auctioneer to persuade the members to part with £234, all in aid of St Francis hospice. Even so members dug deeper to buy raffle tickets too. All in all members agreed it was a very entertaining evening and one we hope to repeat in the future.
