Community Link between Oakhill and Binegar schools. Well, I wouldn't say it was a failure but then again it wasn't a success. Quite a few of our members turned up to help and support and three of Oakhill WI BUT we only had 2 mums from Binegar school and one from Oakhill school.
The problems for many young mums these days is a. they work, b. they don't always have transport c. the children could be sick and probably the most likely - d. they didn't really want to come anyway. Having sorted out all those options - I think all we can say is we did try!! Whether we will want to pursue this any further is anybody's guess at this stage!!
Trying to get them to join the WI - this put them under pressure and I did suggest this was not tried BUT one or two members couldn't resist. Yes, we may all have gained a lot from WI - but - these young things consider us 'oldies' as way past our sell-by-date and when they get a free evening want to spend it with their young friends (understandably) So this was a lost cause - unless they started a fresh group of their own age group and contempories. Well, we will have to see - but I don't hold out any hopes in that direction as I said in my original letter to the Headmistress!!
