WI Newsletter – October 2004
At the end of last month’s newsletter, I finished with the assertion, that I believed the speaker for our October meeting was a very brave man, in view of the introduction of the green waste collection scheme. Well, in the end, Tom Evison was unable to attend due to some last minute holiday arrangements, but …
WI Newsletter – September 2004
It was back in the Village Hall this month, following our summer break, and there was a lot to catch up on, including for us a very successful fete. As usual, we had provided the refreshments. Although it was billed as a mini-fete this year, being organised on a more informal basis, we were just …
WI Newsletter – August 2004
We may not have a formal meeting during August, but behind the scenes, the committee have still been very busy. It is about now that we usually start to think about the following year, but we already seem to be ahead of ourselves, with some dates in the diary. We have also discussed a few …
WI Newsletter – July 2004
For our July meeting we tried something new – a themed evening. The theme we decided upon was holidays, so we came suitably dressed, with six members volunteering to share their experiences whilst travelling round the globe.

The topics at this month’s meeting were very diverse ranging from the funding of the air ambulance service, the village (mini) fete teas, the landscaping of the Village Hall and a trip to Denman College in June 2005 – talk about forward planning. May is the month that each Institute debates the Resolutions that are …
WI Newsletter – April 2004
Snow does seem to be a dominant feature for us this year, however, this time it was only on screen and not the real thing – such a relief – but there was a lot of it. Julia Jenkins had organised the speaker for this month. Traditionally the committee takes a back seat at the …
WI Newsletter – March 2004
No snow prior to this month’s meeting -just rain. However, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of our members. I can now reveal that our membership has increased from 34 to 40 in three months, which is very encouraging and we are delighted that we are following a National trend. It would appear that the …
WI Newsletter – February 2004
This year’s meetings seem to be heralded by snowfall, however, this doesn’t deter the Women’s Institute, our members were very keen to turn out in such conditions, and once again, we were able to welcome some new faces to our meeting. We began the evening with our News & Events; this is how we all …
