Report of Meeting held in October 2013Craster WI
certainly put paid to the idea that the WI is all Jam and Jerusalem at
its
October meeting. Jimmy Powells’ famous
faces quiz resulted in much furtive whispering, hilarity and cries of
“They are
getting all the easy ones”. There
was
grave danger of war breaking out between the two teams as we tried to
identify
singers and the songs from snatches of music.
One of the most common cries of the night was “I
know that one” as we
tried to dredge up answers from the deepest recesses of our brains. We
had great fun trying to identify the famous faces as they were
gradually
unveiled. There were some memorable
cases of mistaken identity as well as some inspired guesswork. If I remember correctly Robson Green was
incorrectly identified as Prince Charles.
We really appreciated the way our visitors from
Brizlee joined in with
the fun.
All of this hilarity in
addition to a delicious pooled supper means that we certainly made the
most of
our WI membership this month.
Despite this we
still found time to make plans to attend the domino drive at
Stannington and
the Christmas Celebrations in Hexham Abbey.
We also are looking forward to visiting Howick and
Brizlee WIs. There was an unprecedented
result in our
competition. Three people tied for
first place for an object beginning with Q.
Well done to Shirley Tucker, Ann Mallen and Beryl
Ainslie. Our new judging system
means that the
competition is much more closely run this year.
100 club
membership cards were issued.
A last minute plea
was made for a replacement secretary and president.
Members were also
informed that our annual fundraiser for local Cancer charities would be
held on
November 23rd at 10am. We
hope that this worthwhile cause will be as well supported as in
previous years. Meeting Reports |
