1.Anne, our Treasurer explains how we collected money for our Community Project for the year (looks a bit serious).
There is a light right over Sue our President's head - we knew she was special!!!
2. Laughter all around and the cheque has been accepted by Heather and Jenny, committee members of the Playing Field Committee, who have benefitted to the sum of £410.00 for their next project which is improving the safety of the slide 'mound' for children, in the playing field, right next to the village hall.
Our speaker for the evening enthusiastically spoke on paddle-steamers in the Bristol Channel - they were all 'lovely' ships. He was very keen that we should go on a trip later on in the year - good for sailors!!!We had one visitor (my husband) who was horrified to find none of the other hubbies had turned up. He disappeared after the talk, preferring the safety of home rather than lots of ladies during the tea break! However, he won a prize in the raffle despite his hasty exit!!
Names were collected for the bursary which will be offered this year (£100) to go towards either a local educational course or a Denman course. Liz who won one of the bursaries last year (which she shared with Margaret B) will bring in some of their art so we can see what they learnt. Mary Williams was pleased to receive a belated raffle prize - after a mix-up with tickets at the Wincanton event.
The evening ended with a few internet jokes from Eileen and several of Ruth's amazing poems - both of which brought forth much laughter!! We were pleased that Heather and Jenny stayed to the end of the evening and continue to try to persuade them to start a WI of their own with friends meeting on a night more suitable for them - perhaps in the pub!! Over to Heather and Jenny!!!
