December 2025 meeting

🎅🎄 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!🎄🎅

Ararat Church are having the roof of the hall renovated so Whitchurch WI gathered in the Ark coffee bar area for the December meeting. This made for a less celebratory event than is usual for our December meeting as we could not share a buffet, but this will happen in January instead.

We were entertained by musicians from Ysgol Glantaf who played a selection of Christmas songs.

 Members sang along and the young people played beautifully. There was also a quiz, guessing the titles of Christmas songs from their initials. It was a joyful and enjoyable meeting.

 December 8th meeting:

    There is no speaker at this month's meeting, but we will be entertained by children from Glantaf School performing Christmas songs. Owing to the repairs being undertaken to the roof of the hall, the meeting will be held in the coffee bar area.

Outings and events:

    On November the 29th we had a stall at the Ararat Christmas Fair. Many thanks to committee members Liz, Yvonne, Linda and Sandra for staffing the stall. We raised £137 for our charity.
