July 2023 meeting

The last meeting before the summer break was most enjoyable. There was a quiz, cake, and entertainment from the twins who call themselves CL Raven.

 

 

They entertained us with their 'Pole Fitness' routine, using a suspended hoop, and a silicon pole.  As well as practising and teaching pole fitness, they are also acclaimed authors.

 

 

Their Amazon profile describes them as '... mistresses of the macabre. They're horror writers because 'bringers of nightmares' isn't a recognised job title. They write novels, short stories, comics and film scripts. Their work has been published in magazines and anthologies in the UK, USA and Australia. In their spare time, they hunt ghosts, host a horror radio show, look after their animal army, and try to look impressive with polefit. Their attempts at gymnastics should never be spoken about.'

Whitchurch Fete Saturday 1st July.

What a lovely day we had ; the sun was shining and lots of people came along to the Common.

The big news is that we raised a magnificent £400!!  It is our main fundraising event for our charities so that is a good lift towards what we will be able to donate to them.  Thank you very much to all our members who nurtured plants, helped with the arrangements and worked on the day with transportation, setting up, serving on our plant stall and clearing up afterwards.

Whitchurch Festival - July 1st.

 Whitchurch WI had a stall at Whitchurch Fete on the Common on July 1st.

The gardeners had worked hard to produce a wonderful selection of plants for sale.

It was a great success and raised £400 for our charities. The left-over plants went to the St Mary's Gardens project.

Congratulations and thanks to everyone who raised plants and to those who helped on the day.
