President, Secretary, Treasurer's coffee morning

Our representatives attended this morning - I hope they found it useful. I hope they'll agree the coffee and cakes were good. Generally it is what you learn from other WIs which is most helpful and there were a few chuckles en route!! Carole, County Chairman was also present - which was a good opportunity for many to meet her and Marianne showed items available on the trading stall and talked about the sale/return parcels available. A few 'queries' were aired and hopefully sorted to most peoples satisfaction. Requests for more meetings in the north of the county were discussed and Carole was keen to take this on board. Hall problems abound with parking an issue and also existing bookings including pre-schools and exercise classes.

There was a good atmosphere in the hall, although it did get a bit chilly towards the end and some people enjoyed a second cup of coffee to warm them up before they headed home.

Overall a good meeting and some interesting points arising which merit discussion at committee. A good chance to find out how other W.I.'s do it and I feel we are not far off the mark. We must not rest on our laurels but strive to improve even more.
