It is that
time of year for the WI again when we vote for the Resolution we support the
most to be put forward for further discussion.
The
shortlist is as follows:
·
The Next 100 Years
·
Plant a Tree for the future
·
Public access defibrillators
·
Failing to care – assessment of need in
long-term care
·
Cutting back on food waste
·
Ending FGM
·
To curb the use of antibiotics
Please take
a moment to read the background notes on each cause by clicking HERE
and then collect your voting form from Dawn Golding at our next meeting. The shortlist will then be narrowed down to a
shorter list of resolutions to be taken forward to the AM. Then when the final list is announced, our
Group will vote either FOR or AGAINST each resolution.
We were once
again thrilled to welcome back by popular demand the wonderful Charlotte White
of Restoration Cakes, who brought along some delicious Vanilla Christmas Cookies
for us to decorate.
Our Belles did not disappoint and rose to the challenge superbly!
By the end
of the night we were delighted with our finished products and taking bets on
how many cookies would actually make it home and how many were actually going to last
the night before being devoured! We all
went away covered in edible glitter and food dye and armed with a few new
decorating techniques to try out over the Crimbo period. If you would like to try baking Charlotte’s
cookies her recipe can be found here http://www.foodnetwork.co.uk/recipes/%E2%80%98carry-on%E2%80%99-valentine-cookies.html
Charlotte's book 'Burlesque Baking' is available to buy at Amazon and she
has a new book out in the year, you can keep up to date on Restoration Cake
website at http://www.restorationcake.co.uk/
There will
be no meeting in December, however the Christmas Dinner will be held on 10th
December 2014 at Bar Espresso, St Albans. Extremely limited spaces are
available so please contact us on hertsbellesstalbanswi@gmail.com
to enquire.
Our next
meeting is in January 2015 and we will be welcoming in the New Year with a
fabulous Burlesque Fitness class – more information to follow.
Until then,
Have a great Christmas and see you in the New Year!
