For Institutes across the country, November is traditionally the month in which we all hold our annual meetings, which is a chance to reflect on the previous 12 months and look forward to the coming year.

WI Newsletter – October 2007
It was laughter all the way, when several of our members attended the Danebury Group Autumn Meeting, where we were entertained by Ann Chance who had us laughing throughout the evening as she described how she came to jump out of an aeroplane dressed as Wonder Woman – fortunately with a parachute – and all …
WI Newsletter – September 2007
With the fete on the first day of September this year, it was a busy start to the month for our members as we continued with the tradition of providing welcome refreshments for the many visitors to this popular event – the cakes and scones being homemade of course. We sold out and which was …
WI Newsletter – August 2007
Having not had a meeting this month, there is very little to report, but there was an unofficial get-together for a hastily arranged photo opportunity around “our flowerbed” – a quick ring-round by Sheila Lockhart soon had us organised. Just to keep you in the picture (pun definitely intended), during the summer, Test Valley Borough …
WI Newsletter – July 2007
After such a busy June, this month has been less hectic and for our July meeting we enjoyed the kind hospitality of Sue Farr at her home in Quarley.

We then had a resolution to discuss, which referred to the closure of Community Hospitals. Naturally we all wish to …
WI Newsletter – April 2007
When we met this month, the entertainment for the evening was organised by the members rather than the committee, but first it was News & Events when members are kept informed of everything that is happening at all levels of the W.I. Of course, members can access information in many ways, apart from the Internet …
WI Newsletter – March 2007
Those of you who read this newsletter each month will know how much we were looking forward to welcoming Barbara Parker of Parkers Handmade Cakes & Chocolates to our March meeting. Barbara enthusiastically demonstrated the art of the chocolatière. She advised how best to temper (melt) chocolate to have a good liquid to work with …
WI Newsletter – February 2007
Most of this month was spent concentrating on our tremendously successful Pancake Morning held on Shrove Tuesday. Thanks must go to everyone who came and supported us on the day and who enjoyed eating our freshly cooked pancakes. We were delighted to see all our guests of course, but it was particularly enjoyable to see …
