WI Notes
OUR FUND RAISING EFFORTS at the Swaffham Prior Feast fell rather flat this year - the cold wind and showers deterred all but the hardiest folk from buying ice cream despite the hard sell tactics. Perhaps we should look at a soup kitchen next year!
At the May meeting we debated and voted unanimously in favour of the 2007 WI resolution 'that urges H.M Government to stop the closure of Community Hospitals, which provide essential services to local people.'This will be now taken to the national AGM in June. After a break for refreshments we were entertained by several members giving us a potted history of their lives - you would never believe what secrets were revealed - but of course you would have to be a WI member to share in such revelations. Our June meeting is an outing to Little Bentley Hall and in July we have our summer party hosted by Betty Fox. We hope the weather will be good for both these events.
The next meeting in the village hall will be on August 20th when we are having an Ascot Evening - posh frocks, hats and horse racing - sounds intriguing - not too many horses I hope.
New members are always welcome - we are a really friendly group - why not give us a try?
