Metheringham WI Update Winter 2011

A welcome home to our president after her well deserved trip 'down-under' (The Country - Women's Association in Australia). The committee kept the flag flying.

Monthly Meetings
August - Personal stories from Lyn Day under the title GBH+R. The initials did not represent Grevious Bodily Harm - Thank goodness!

September - An 'energetic' amusing talk by Sue Cadman about her career in dance prior to becoming a member of the Roly-Polys. TV viewers in the late 60s and 70s should remember them on variety shows. A plump but skilful dance troupe. We look forward to a continuation at a later date.

October - Dave Skepper's structured, well illustrated presentation about Stage-coach buses was appreciated by all, especially by Bus-pass Holders! We appreciated the 'goodies' - key-rings, pencils, rulers, etc.

November events - to be reported on in the next issue
16 Nov - Christmas Memories by Terry Richards
19 Nov - Table top Sale
28 Nov - 10-pin Bowling afternoon
29 Nov - York Trip

Wed 21 Dec - Christmas Social - an evening of carols, presents, food, games and Christmas wishes to conclude.
Wed 18 Jan - Christmas Dinner - Martin Moor Golf Club.

Two darts teams and a table tennis team have been entered into the leagues.
Quiz evenings and 'come and sing' are popular.
The Tombola at the Fayre and Feast was successful. There were jams, chutney and cakes for sale. Also Wand-Knitting items and decorated boxes.
A thank you to all members for their hard-work and enthusiasm. Catching up with friends on the 3rd Wednesday of the month is something to look forward to.

Jill Spooner.
