W.I. Newsletter May 2018

Annual Meeting time and this year as an incentive to attend, Lynne Lucas had the idea of beginning the evening with a fish and chip supper.  Orders were taken, and individual boxes collected in time for our 7.30 p.m. start. It all went down very well.  Especially when it was followed up with a delicious ice cream. 

It was then time for the business part of the evening and our President said there was now an imaginary lock on the door, so members could not escape!The resolution to be debate at the National AGM in early June was discussed and there was a majority in favour.

Kate, who agreed to remain as President for one more year, was able to deliver all the necessary reports in her own inimitable style.  Our finances are healthy, Gill Page our Secretary summarised the previous 12 months and Kate had written her report in a slightly different format and she has given her permission for it to be included in this month’s press reports.
