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 …
WI Newsletter – January 2004
For those attending the first meeting of the year it was a chance to forget the icy conditions outside and be transported to South America, Easter Island and French Polynesia, courtesy of Diana & George Nelson. Despite the short-lived, but spectacular, snowstorm of the previous evening, which as mentioned had turned to ice, this was …
WI Newsletter – December 2003
The last meeting of the year is, in fact, Party Time. For several years, we have employed a caterer from Totton who provides an excellent five-course dinner, which means the minimum amount of work for us. Apart from organising the tables, the rest is all done for us, Mr J Davis provides everything else, from …
WI Newsletter – November 2003
No excuses this newsletter is late because my own personal preparations for Christmas have rather taken priority, but I can assure you that the Institute has been active. November is an important month for us, as all WI’s have their Annual Meeting this month. This is when the Committee for the following year is formed, …
WI Newsletter – October 2003
If it is not being too smug, Abbotts Ann WI is feeling very pleased with itself, as we hosted a very successful walk and lunch on 31 October. It was our usual monthly meeting the night before and as we gathered in the hall, the main fear for the following day was the weather. Despite …
WI Newsletter – September 2003
I cannot believe that September has come and gone so quickly, our feet do not seem to have touched the ground. For us the month started with the Village Fete, as usual we did the “teas”. This is very much a team effort, all hands on deck or rather the kitchen of the Village Hall …
WI Newsletter – July 2003
Gosh what have we been up to in July? We have just had a very successful open meeting – as explained in our June newsletter, an open meeting is when invitations are sent to neighbouring Institutes for a specific meeting, although anyone is welcome to come along at any time. Not having hosted one for …
WI Newsletter – June 2003
Our June meeting took the form of a visit to Sparsholt Agricultural College, where we had two excellent guides in Mark and Nathan. We were given a tour of the glasshouses, where there were plants in abundance in various phases of development. These will be used at large flower shows, such as Hampton Court in …
