Annual Meeting

Our Annual Meeting was unusual as for a lovely change we had an election for Committee members.  This was followed by an election for President and  Pam Cooper was voted in.

 

We followed, after refreshments,  with a DVD presentation of members of different Institutes, including one of our ladies,  being filmed talking about what the Women's Institute meant to them.  Everyone was very positive about their experiences over the years!

 

2014 heralds in the first of our meetings. This will be on Wednesday 8 January at 7.30pm in the Community Centre.  Mr Daniel Evans will give a talk with slides about the Royal Geographical Society,  Should be enjoyable.

 

Visitors are always welcome and if there are any queries, please contact Pam Cooper, President on 01508 491674 or Lesley Sanders, Secretary on 01508 492155.

Windmill Ringers (Hand Bells)

 

We welcomed the Windmill Ringers to our October meeting.  There were three ladies in the Group each with 4 bells.  Altogether there were 29 bells and some chime bells.  The bells were made in America and are tuned to concert pitch and stay in tune.  They played a full range of tunes from the music hall like "Oh Mr Porter" to light classical music by Schubert.  We enjoyed ourselves singing along to some of the tunes. Apparently they often play Hymns and Carols in Churches as well.  All the members thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

 

Our Christmas meeting is on Wednesday 11 December at 7.30pm in the Community Centre.  Mr Ernie Richards will be coming and entertaining us with Christmas readings and music and we will have our usual buffet supper. Everything for an enjoyable time.  Do come if you can.

 

Visitors are always welcome and if there are any queries, please contact Veronica Brett on 01508 493029 or Lesley Sanders on 01508 492155.

 

Finally may we wish all readers a happy, healthy and warm Christmas and New Year.
