Well September has been very varied - here are a few activities: a few apologies for committee so meeting shorter than usual - heard that President/Secretary/Treasurer are giving up - whoops - WIA coming to oversee November meeting!! Binegar need volunteers!!
Some members visited Oakhill Produce Show - saw A&O WI - spent lots on their stalls and won quite a few prizes!! Weather OK as well - annual egg-throwing excellent success as usual. Few entries but great - noticed Cranmore member Nicola made a fantastic felt handbag and a crown tea cosy for her Mum won a prize.
Other members helped make teas at the Binegar Playing Fields 'Teddy Bears Picnic' - marvellous photo in the Journal - Day went really well - congrats to the organisers.
Several members have tried out the film club in Wells (so have Leigh on Mendip) Angela and Eileen went to 'Anna Karenina' - - set in a theatre (?) fantastic - slightly weird but exotic presentation - very impressive - did Cynthia go to? Really enjoyed it - well worth going.
Lunch Club were out too - very popular with many of our not so active members as well - this will thrive as long as there are enough drivers to get them there.
Big Walk, Little Splash - well some members have filled in their forms - BUT has everyone - Anne says it's not worth entering if we don't get 100% entry - this is probably highly unlikely but nevertheless walkers/swimmers have been busy - come on everyone!!
Eileen went to a 'Science meeting' in London at NFWI (hence apologies for committee as not home until after 9.00pm) - fascinating if not entirely what was expected - managed to call in for coffee and cup cake at 'The Hummingbird Cafe', South Kensington, - that was certainly fun - cake choice - red velvet - evidently their most popular!! Coffee excellent - that and cupcake soon put paid to a fiver!!! - very enjoyable tho'. Very trendy they have an catering van they take to shows and were recently at the Bristol Balloon Show and Bath Races!! Brought hubby home some samples - but he thought the frosting was too thick!! Personally I thought the ones I bought from Chewton Mendip once were better decorated - I still remember them fondly - a beautiful rose with scented shimmery petals - that was special!! The bakery said it was made by a 'lady across the road' - very impressive!!
