Report of Meeting held in September 2012
We had our second meeting in Copley Hall whilst the
Memorial Hall is being refurbished. Joyce Shaw informed the meeting
that asbestos is being removed on September 17th and will be closed
until the work is completed. We consider ourselves very lucky to have
such a lovely hall at our disposal. We have been made to feel very
welcome.
There were several items of business. These included a
plea for all entries for “Big Walk little Splash” to be given to the
secretary as the deadline is looming. The autumn and Christmas events
at Heighley Gate were mentioned. No one has entered for the autumn
event but some people expressed an interest in exhibiting something in
December. Clipboards were circulated as invitations have been received
from Embleton and Belford WIS and people signed up for these. Several
members signed up for the Domino Drive at Stannington Village Hall on
9th November 12-3pm. Beetle Drive 11th march 2013 Shilbottle 2-4pm £5
including tea. Other items from the WI life were dealt with.
The secretary Marion Gallon and the President Sylvia
Biott announced their intention to resign in November 2013 and
encouraged people to volunteer for the positions.
We were very grateful to our speaker for stepping in at
the last moment to talk about the charity “Send a Cow to Africa”. Our
original one was due to give birth.
