The Kenn W.I. January meeting was well attended despite the wind and rain.
Our speaker was Marilyn Drag, a JP who was appointed in 1997, the same time as Anita Simmons, who was unable to attend as she was meeting the Bishop of Bath and Wells.
Marilyn works on the North Somerset Bench, mainly at Worle Magistrates Court.
She led us into the world of the Courtroom and how the system works and what punishments can be issued. 97% of cases are actually heard in the Magistrates Court, however, all cases start there.
It was great to meet Marilyn but I was glad l was not in front of her!
Our first fund raising event for our 2015 charity, League of Friends of Clevedon Hospital, will be a coffee morning at the March Market in Kenn village hall. We hope to see some of you there.
The W.I. skittles season has started and we played Uphill W.I. at Weston. This was a very friendly match with both teams having gone to lose! Kenn did win by 35 pins and now wait to see who our next opponents will be.
Our speaker in February is Brian Cherry from Clevedon Care, our charity last year. He will explain how Clevedon Care works and how your donations are used.
Visitors are always welcome. Also if there is anybody who would like to give us a talk or if there is something you would like to hear a talk on, then please do contact myself or any W.I. members and we will see what we can do.
