Hello Ladies,
The next Meeting is this Wednesday
19th June at 7.30pm at the Village Hall. Our speaker is Liz
Maxwell, who will give a talk on How to get started with Family History. We look
forward to seeing as many of you as possible.
Last month our speaker Lis Dobb-Sandi gave a fascinating and
extremely entertaining talk regarding her life’s adventures. This was combined
with the Public Affairs Resolution brief discussion and voting on the Articles
of Association and WI Constitution. All votes were carried unanimously and these
votes were taken to the AGM on the 1st June, by our
Representatives.
It has been a busy time for our WI of late. Our fund raising efforts at the Garden Party of over £200 were equalled by the
Committee’s efforts at the Village Fete, serving
tea and homemade cake, bringing a grand total of £442 for our Group. Well done to all those
involved.
The Walking Group had a
lovely time at Shustoke Reservoir last Saturday, it was a sunny day, with lots
to see, on and off the water and everyone enjoyed a picnic afterwards. The next
walk is Tuesday 25th June at 11am at
the car park of the Social Club, Ousterne Lane, Fillongley.
The Book Club met last
Thursday to review A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. The next book, , is now available if anyone would like a copy to
read(these are loaned library books). This book will be reviewed on 11th July at 8pm at the Manor Pub,
Fillongley. Please email/telephone to request a copy.
The Committee have spent some time deliberating trip ideas
for the WI this year and we do hope that the choice will meet with your
approval. We would like to offer a WI Trip to the Belgrade Theatre to see The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie, on Wednesday 6th
November at 7.45pm. The Mousetrap is a murder mystery, the scene is set
when a group of people in a country house, cut off by snow, discover to their
horror, that there is a murderer in their midst. To celebrate 60 incredible
years on stage in the West End, The Mousetrap is going on tour for the first
time, with a star cast. Lifts can be arranged by the Committee. Tickets are £20
each. Please email your ticket requests or speak to us on
Wednesday.
Kind Regards,
Fillongley Lite WI Committee.
