Report of Meeting held in February 2013

The February meeting consisted of our annual dinner at The Horseshoes. There was however some essential business that had to be attended to before we could enjoy the delicious meal and friendly hospitality on offer.

There were two matters to be discussed and voted upon.

1 Raffle tickets.

It was agreed by a majority vote with only one person objecting that it was acceptable for members to be given one strip of raffle tickets for a £1. The WI will not making any more money by doing this as nobody ever bought 50p worth of raffle tickets. The chances of winning are not affected by the change in price as everyone is getting fewer tickets. Our reasons for doing this were to bring us in to line with other WIs and also to cut down on the number of tickets that needed to be folded each month.

2 Denman.

There was also a majority vote against raising subscriptions in order to keep Denman College. The secretary will answer the relevant question in the Denman survey accordingly. A motion was put forward from the floor that a suggestion should be made that it would be more appropriate to spend money on keeping Denman open rather than producing the WI Life. This motion was passed unanimously.

Members were given the opportunity to sign up for the following activities.
