Fillongley Lite WI Meeting - 20th March 2013

Hello Ladies,

Our meeting this Wednesday 20^th, at 7.30pm, is a talk by PAWS veterinary practice, who are long established carers for animal health, from companion animals to farm livestock and horses.

As usual all ladies are welcome and we are offering this month’s meeting FREE to guests, so do invite friends to come along. If you have any questions for the practice please take the

opportunity at the end of the meeting to ask. The practice are kindly giving their talk and slide show free of charge but are looking forward to joining us for a drink and cake – so if anyone

would like to bake a cake, that would be much appreciated.

Our Garden Party 18^th May, is only two months away. We need to start collecting items to sell: books, unwanted gifts/nearly new, homemade crafts, jam and chutney (cakes/plants nearer the time).

This is our annual fund raiser and we are inviting other WI groups and we hope to make a good impression, so please may we ask for your support. On the day we will still need to borrow garden

tables please but we do have sufficient chairs. We thought it would be nice to decorate the garden with colourful bunting (e.g. triangles) any volunteers to make some? Thank you.

At the last meeting we asked for interest in the Denman in Bloom open afternoons in April, unfortunately only 6 people expressed an interest, this was for 14^th April. This being too few to organise a

trip but if those people would like to travel together then we can put you all in contact.
