WI Newsletter – October 2008
There was no time for the members to sit back and take it easy at their October Meeting. Due to a diary clash, their scheduled speaker was unable to attend, so once members had been given an update of events past and yet to come, they were encouraged to participate in a social engineering exercise. …
WI Newsletter – September 2008
For us this month started with the Village Fete, but for the first time in many years I was away attending a family celebration, so cannot give a first hand account. However, I gather the weather just about held and it was a busy afternoon as our members served delicious home made teas. The end …
WI Newsletter – August 2008
Whilst August was officially a quiet month in that there was no monthly meeting, behind the scenes, as always, plans are being made for future events including a Craft Day on the 04 October and the walking group carried on along the Clarendon Way, this time finishing on the outskirts of Winchester.

WI Newsletter – July 2008
No wonder we all need a rest in August – the diary was particularly full this month.

Seriously, two representatives of this emergency service were present to promote fire safety in the home. Arrangements will now be made for home visits to ascertain whether smoke alarms are correctly positioned and in working …
WI Newsletter – April 2008
Their April meeting proved once again that many members of this Institute are very talented when three of them, Judy Clarke, Sue Farr & Jan Munnion were prepared to stand up and talk about their artistic skills. For Sue it has been a hobby, preferring to work in watercolour, she has attempted many different subjects, …
WI Newsletter – March 2008
At their March meeting, members were able to sit back and watch an expert at work as Mavis Cotton ably demonstrated the art of flower arranging. An early spring meant there was some deviation, but no hesitation or repetition, from her original “Welcome to Spring” theme, but with some unusually coloured carnations and stunning roses …
WI Newsletter – February 2008
Keeping fit with the walking group, well read with the book club, a visit to Blenheim Palace, being involved in the Federation’s skittles and quiz competitions – these are all opportunities available to members of Abbotts Ann WI in the coming months, as they learnt at their February meeting.
