The talk given by Kath Aldom at the January meeting of the Kenn W.I. was inspirational. She told us all about Paul’s Place which is a meeting place on Coalpit Heath for young people over the age of eighteen who have all kinds of disabilities. Kath discovered that fostering and other kinds of mentoring ceases when a young person reaches adulthood and help does not start again until old age. She and a band of helpers set about changing that. Paul’s Place offers activities of all kinds including holidays and help for the carers too. We all felt that she was doing something that really makes a difference.
In February we are having something entirely different. John Gingell is coming to talk about the art and science of chocolate making (something that interests us all!). If you would like to hear all about it, do please join us on February 12th in the Village Hall at 7.30 p.m.
There are several events planned for the year which we hope will be enjoyed by lots of people.
On 20th May Edinburgh Woollen Mill will be presenting a Fashion Show to help us choose our summer finery. The proceeds will be shared with Clevedon Care which is our Charity for the year.
We have not had a W.I. Jumble Sale for a long time so there will be one in September with a Nearly New Stall.
The annual Christmas Flower Demonstration has been arranged for 26th November.
There will be more information about all these nearer the time.
We are always delighted to see visitors at our meetings, so if anything looks interesting to you please come along.
