Hello Ladies,
Didn’t we have luverly time making lily flowers with Bella at the meeting last Thursday? It was heart-warming to see everyone taking part and I was amazed at how professional the flowers looked after our first attempts. I was reminded of my teaching days when I introduce knitting sessions to some of the most vulnerable students. The creative process which requires concentration evokes a collectively calming atmosphere which everyone benefits from. I know that Sarah S. will be updating our website and public Facebook page with some photos shortly and thank you to Sharon for posting photos and a video of the Lily flower demonstration on our closed Facebook page. If there’s enough interest, I’m sure that Bella would put on a millinery workshop for us. Let me know if you’d be interested.
GOOD NEWS
I’m delighted to welcome Sarah S. back to the Committee. As many of you know, Sarah is the administrator of our public Facebook profile and our website. She works very hard to keep these platforms updated for us and as such, it seemed logical to bring her back onto the Committee. This was a unanimous decision by the Committee. As such, at our next Committee meeting, we will be looking at redistributing the Hubs in light of changes to our membership this year.
THANK YOU
• To Bella for giving us such an entertaining and creative talk on Thursday.
• To Jackie for continuing to juggle all the money that is passed to her from all angles.
• To Caroline for organising Cereal Killers yesterday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
I’d like to wish Edna and Barbara a very Happy Birthday on 3rd and 6th May respectively. Have a lovely day both of you. (there will be more May birthday wishes next update).

We have been invited to Westergate’s 67th Birthday Party. I know that Mo is interested in attending; if anyone else would like to accompany Mo please let me know. Val and I attended a Tangmere WI party and I know that Jackie and Mo have attended Westergate’s party in the past. It is always good to visit other WIs to see how they operate. Visitors are always made to feel most welcome.
