WI Newsletter – January 2008
The first meeting of 2008 was a trip down memory lane for members of Abbotts Ann’s WI, as guest speaker Jill Bentall produced items which were evocative of many a childhood, supposedly pertinent for those born before 1944 – but it has to be said even those born later could remember more than they wished …
WI Newsletter – December 2007
Just time for an informal committee meeting at which our Vice Presidents were selected – Val Downing & Sue Hancock – and then we were back in the Village Hall for our Christmas celebrations.

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.

WI Newsletter – June 2007
As promised in our May newsletter, there is so much to mention this month. Just in case you have forgotten, I can remind you that we have had some good weather this month, as our walking group met to revisit Barton Stacey on a sunny Saturday at the beginning of the month, enjoying a lovely …
WI Newsletter – May 2007
At our May meeting, members were once again reminded why their diaries are so full at the moment (all to be revealed in our June newsletter) and given up-to-date information on all that is happening.
