WI Notes
In February the WI. visited the Waitrose store in Newmarket. On arrival we were
taken up to a large lecture room on the second floor and offered a glass of
wine. We then heard a talk on how John Lewis and Waitrose first started, how
the business is run and the aims for the future. There followed a talk by a
Cambridgeshire apple grower who produces apple juice in various flavours
according to the apples used and we were given four "tasters", all
delicious.
After a selection of cheese and biscuits and nibbles we were taken for a tour of the store and the store rooms, ending up in the coffee shop for coffee and tea and a raffle, the proceeds of which are to go to a charity. We were all given a "goody bag" of leaflets, recipes and a sachet of coffee to take home.
This was a very interesting evening. Thank you Betty Fox for arranging it.
Next month will be our Annual General Meeting.
WI ADVANCE NOTICE
On 10th April Sue Elliott will be giving us a talk on Alzheimer's. This is an illness many of us will have to face at some time, either amongst our friends or relatives or even ourselves so it should be of interest to many. So it will be a meeting open to all.
Sue works for the Alzheimer's Association and I have heard her talk on the subject. She is very helpful and reassuring. Do come if you are interested - 7.30pm in the Village Hall on Monday l0th April.
