WELCOME, and Happy New Year!
January 2924 meeting:
Subject: ‘Bees – it’s not just honey’ Speaker: Mavis Tierney
We are delighted to welcome back Mavis – some of you will remember her demonstrations of silk scarf painting. Today (January 9th) it's bees that Mavis is here to talk about – a subject that the WI nationally has been campaigning on for over ten years.
HAVE YOU GOT YOUR THINKING CAPS ON ?
WI Resolutions: to be voted on at our February meeting. Some background information to inform your decision can be found in the latest W.I. magazine.
Unwanted Christmas presents:
Please bring these along to our next meeting. Sales go towards our Charity fundraising. Which leads to...
Our Charities:
We want you to put forward the charities you want to support this year. As last year, we will have the opportunity to vote on which ones we will be supporting. And, speaking of which, do tell us your ideas for fundraising. Please note, although we still plan to run a stall at the Whitchurch Fete it will NOT be plants this time.
Outing:
Our anniversary trip this year is to Paul Kirner’s Music Palace in Ynys Hir. This is a showcase for theatre and electronic instruments, and we will be given a demonstration and talk, followed by a cream tea. It will be on Tuesday, 9th April. Cost £15 which includes – entry fee, entertainment, and tea and scone. Travel by coach is being paid for from funds. Please see the treasurer, Liz to sign up today.
The Bus Pass Group:
This is quite informal. A route or destination to travel by bus—using our bus passes of course—is suggested. You are given the details: date, bus route number and time – though you can catch the bus along the route if you want to join the group. Yvonne will arrange the first one in February, but your suggestions for future trips are most welcome.
MARY DAVIES
We are sad to announce the death in December of one of our members, Mary Davies. Mary has been described as ‘one of the quiet ones’ but very independent and with a gentle sense of humour. There will be a photo of her on the notice board.
