Obituary.

Our WI announces with great sadness,  the death of member Margaret Hems. Margaret had been a member since 1978 when her husband Brian became our Rector. She had been on the committee several times and was always very supportive of WI events. In recognition of her membership, Jerusalem was sang at her funeral in the Cathedral in May. 
The photo above was taken in Shirleys garden in 1993 when Margaret was Vice President. 

Birthday Month - 13th May. 2015

Our May meeting is often a special occasion, as it is our birthday month. This year, instead of a normal meeting, we treated ourselves to a meal out at Caistor Hall. It was a lovely time to catch up and chat with friends in a relaxed manner. Personally, this made a change to having a speaker, but sometimes it is nice to simply have a good meal with good friends. The raffle prizes were well appreciated by those who won them. The evening was enjoyable, the food was good and the company was great! Even the broken table was laughed about and will probably turn into an anecdote for the Poringland WI memories.

Our next meeting will be held on Wednesday July 8th 2015 at 1930hrs, back in our usual surroundings of the Community Centre. Our speaker will be Nicola Werden who will be talking about Boats of the Mediterranean. Our exhibition will be holiday snaps. It promises to be an eventful evening, hopefully with some laughs and new information.

Visitors are always welcome at our meetings.  If there are any queries, please contact Pam Cooper, President on 01508 491674 or Lesley Sanders, Secretary on 01508 492155.
