The September meeting was a very quiet one, although quite a lot of chatting took place, because so many of our members were on holiday. What a lovely time they will all have had in this beautiful month!
Now we expect October to be much busier. The speaker at the meeting on Wednesday 8th October will be Terry Merrett-Smith with an evening’s entertainment entitled ‘Some Enchanted Evening’ which comprises songs from musicals. Lots will be known to us already, I am sure, and there will be a great deal of foot tapping. We will be delighted to welcome anyone who would like to come along. On the 22nd October we are holding our birthday lunch to celebrate our 61st birthday, at the Greedy Goose in Flax Bourton.
Yatton W.I. is hostessing the next Group Meeting on 30th October when there will be a demonstration of belly dancing. That should be great fun.
Members were thrilled to hear from Thelma Blake that two sons of her magnificent beast Thundercloud have become champions in their classes at cattle shows in Wyoming. One of them was crowned ‘Grand Champion’ the American equivalent of Supreme Champion. She is rightly proud of them.
BAG A BRA
There has been a tremendous response to this request for discarded bras for the Great Western Air Ambulance appeal for old bras which may no longer be being worn because they are the wrong size or whatever. They will be tidied up and sold to countries where such items are hard to come by and are much appreciated by the women who can get hold of them. It seems like a ‘win-win’ scheme. The W.I. now have enough to deliver to the GWAA and will close the appeal after the meeting on the 8th October. If there are any more of you who would like to donate some there is still time and I have plenty of pink bags to put them in. Just give me a ring on 01275 875877 and I will let you have one.
