What a fine start to the New Year. Two new members joined
our WI and three more are seriously interested !
In previous years, we have held our January meeting in the
committee room, where we had a social evening of playing board games with some
festive fare. This year we played Kurling, a team game similar to bowls, using
“stones” with castors, with “pushers” available for those less able to bend.
There was much encouragement, enthusiasm and laughter from team members, such
that we completely forgot that the Parish Council were meeting in the committee
room. Hopefully the plate of cakies that we gave the councillors smoothed
things over!
On a more serious note, we voted for the resolution that
will be selected for our National Meeting in the summer. The greatest number of
members voted in favour of the resolution to promote Organ Donation.
This year, the WI is to support the local Food Bank. Members
are asked to bring an item of long shelf-life food to our meetings, with one
member offering to take the donations, together with that collected in the
church, into the Dorchester Food Bank.
For our next meeting, on Wednesday 5th February we are pleased to welcome Chris
Scholes who is to talk about “Textiles
and Pictures”
Please don’t forget the big event in the Lulworth calendar
- the WI Jumble Sale !
This year it is
to be held on Saturday 15th February at 2pm, with donations gladly
accepted at the hall from 10am. This is a brilliant way of recycling items for
which you have no further use.
Do please make 2014 the year that you consider joining the
WI. Visitors will be made most welcome, and you will soon learn of all the
local, County and National events that members can enjoy.
