Newsletter 181 – April 2024

WELCOME!  

The speaker for April's meeting is Richard Cowie, whose subject is  “How Llanishen and Lisvane Reservoirs were saved”.  Also, if you have never heard of “Tangling’ or ‘structured doodling’, one of our members, Nord’zin Pamo, will explain all.  Finally, we need (just) a vote on the national W.I. resolution for this year “Dental Health Matters” – a show of hands to indicate whether our W.I. supports it, or not.

‘BEHIND THE SCENES’

Have you thought about the ‘behind the scenes’ action needed for our W.I’s wide range of activities?  Speakers, trips, refreshments/parties, updating the membership, and keeping in touch with members, the equipment needed, the newsletter, fundraising…  and not least, the administration and finances.  ‘Many hands make light work’, so we would be delighted to welcome new members, new ideas.  You can find out more of what’s involved by  ‘sitting in’ at our committee meetings if you wish.  Do speak to a Committee member (orange badge) if you are interested .
