Once we have recovered from our Annual Meeting in November and enjoyed our Christmas Celebrations in December we take a well-deserved break, ready to come back fully refreshed in the New Year. Once again our December meeting took the form of a Dinner in the Village Hall, where all our members had to do was …

WI Newsletter – November 2006
We’ve done it, we have now finished walking the Test Way – it has only taken us 19 months to walk 44 miles! That’s not the whole story of course – we actually did it in nine stages – the last one being on the 18 November when we walked from Combe Gibbet to LInkenholt. …
WI Newsletter – October 2006
During October, we have enjoyed the beautiful countryside on our own doorstep, heard all about the liner Queen Mary, attended Goodworth Clatford’s Institute meeting, learnt about the exploits of Col John Blashford-Snell and discovered more about our own members. The first was courtesy of Jill & Mike Reynolds who kindly organised a treasure hunt on …
WI Newsletter – September 2006
On the first Saturday in September, our members were involved in the Village’s annual fete, traditionally the W.I. has always organised the teas and this year was no exception. As always, our members were very generous and provided plenty of cakes, but we were also grateful to others, who had taken notice of our email …
WI Newsletter – August 2006
As mentioned in previous newsletters we do not have a meeting in August – we are only obliged to have 11 meetings a year and it has long been a tradition in our Institute, as do many others, to have a break in the summer. However, please do not be mislead, this does not mean …
WI Newsletter – July 2006

WI Newsletter – June 2006
The month began with a specially arranged evening walk on the unique Porton Down which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, as this area of chalk downland has never been treated with chemicals or fertilizers. Unfortunately, we did not see any butterflies and very few birds, but we were privileged to see a Lady …
WI Newsletter – May 2006
At this month’s meeting, we went from debating issues such as renewable energy and sport for a healthy nation to revealing our most embarrassing moment and the things we hate most. How come? For all Institutes May is traditionally the month when we are all asked to consider the Resolutions which will be brought before …
WI Newsletter – April 2006
The good news continues as once again, we welcomed another new member to our Institute this month and the hall was full, as our membership was enhanced by the presence of visitors, friends and guests. How many of us have known since we were 8 years old what we wanted to do in life? Well …
WI Newsletter – March 2006
A new member for Tetbury W.I. made the headlines this month. It was announced that The Duchess of Cornwall was to join her local Institute. Inspired by meeting the much admired Calendar Girls; you may remember we hosted an Evening with Angela Baker last April, HRH has obviously decided that she has a lot in …
