January meeting

Roman Way Spring Group Meeting – 20 March 2020 at 7.30pm

Our  Group Representative, Rowena has the tickets for this event priced at £6.00 each. It will be held at St James Hall in Winscombe. The entertainment will be 9 to 5 (a group of Harmony Singers). The competition will be for a jar of marmalade - any size, any jar. Anyone interested in attending should contact her.

 Wincanton Races – 7 May 2020

The Vice President has had interest from 34 people so far for this event but there is room for more. The cost of the day is £85.00 including a meal and race cards and the coach is expected to cost approximately £15.00 extra, the total cost, therefore, will be about £100.00. Several of our members are coming again as they enjoyed it so much last year. 

 Annual Day Trip – 8 June 2020 

There have been a couple of suggestions - Either Weymouth or Worcester for this year's outing. Our Vice president Beryl has said that any other ideas from our members would be most welcome.

Our Memory Garden

For the benefit in particular of the new members Jenny Barley explained that the WI has a memorial garden located next to Humphrey Motor Company, Sandford, that is maintained for the village.  Plants are put in there to remember members who have passed away and, as in previous years, the Parish Council have given us £40.00 towards its upkeep.
