WI Advisor, Joyce Gray, put forward the Resolution for this year, which was to get people talking about Organ Donation. Following much discussion, we put it to the vote and our Group voted ‘No’ on this Resolution. However the final vote for the Nation was passed as ‘Yes’ and this Resolution will be put forward. For more information on this, please visit the NFWI website http://www.thewi.org.uk/campaigns/current-campaigns-and-initiatives/time-to-talk
Voting took place to elect our Group President for the Year
ahead and I am pleased to announce that Lia Nelissen was elected. Due to the ever expanding popularity of the
Group, we decided that there was a lot to take on for just 5 people on the
committee, so it was decided to extend it to 8 people and we were delighted
with the enthusiasm of our members to join us.
Ladies may I introduce you to your New Committee for the year ahead;
President: Lia Nelissen
Secretary: Emma
Golding
Treasurer: Dawn
Golding
Vice President & Blogger/Designer: Dawn Elliott
Trade Table: Rebecca
London
And Introducing our sparkly new members….
Faye Huges: Events & Skills Co-ordinator
Emma Merrygold Cannon: Events & Information Gatherer
Tisa Msanide:
Communications
We also have on the team as a Co-option, Anya Pearce, who
will be running our Twitter account and pulling together our Press
Announcements when required.
Sadly, we are unable to bring you our Cocktail making class this month, however we will be bringing it back later in the year! This month Faye will be demonstrating Arm and Finger knitting – although from the mimed demonstration we got at the committee meeting I think that Ninja-knitting may be a more apt name! It looks like it should be a fun activity to get involved in, so please bring along some wool – the chunkier the better!!
Emma Golding will be demonstrating our second activity of
Organza Flowers. To take part in this
one you will need to bring along a tea light and a plate – we will be working
with open flames so make sure that any tassles or dangly sleeves are well out
the way!
Please remember our fabulous Trade Table will be in
attendance and this month has a Crafty theme to it, so if you have any craft
items you would like to sell then please bring them along! Remember that our Trade Table is open to
everyone and you can bring along absolutely anything to sell, something you
have made, something a friend has made, or even if you’re just having a bit of
a clear out – its all welcome! We just
ask for a 15% donation to our Group of your takings on the evening.
See you on Wednesday!
