Here is a message from Viv Pixton our President sent on 14th November 2020
Dear Ladies,
We held our first virtual WI members meeting on Monday (9th) via
Zoom, which I feel was a success as we weren't timed out and ladies could
access the meeting! It was a trial run with no real structure just a
mention of members welfare, a quiz and then exchanging information and a
general catch up.
Information - Litster Butchers in Winscombe is now Winscombe
Village Butchers and I drove past the New Inn at Cross and saw a sign stating
they are operating a takeaway service.
The next WI members meeting, via Zoom, will be on 14th December at
7.30 pm and this will have an agenda and Chris will take the minutes.
We would like members to wear a Christmas hat, earrings or both and have
a glass of something for a toast.
We are planning Christmas music in the background, a quiz, game(s)
and a video of Paul (Denise's husband) singing with his guitar. The
meeting should last approximately an hour.
I intend to maximise the Zoom software as best I can to provide
variety to the ladies that use Zoom.
Angela Morris is making chutney and would like any glass jars that
members do not need. She has a green box by her gate which is number 81
Greenhill Road, Sandford that you can place them in.
Heather Brown, who organises the craft club, would like to thank
ladies for all the jumpers (23 have been knitted), hats, scarves and bras that
have been donated to the charity she supports in Africa.
The Buddy Scheme is in place.
The WI Golden Girls group is located through WhatsApp. This
is a mode of communication within the group sharing videos, jokes and
information. If you would like to be added to the group or download the
App onto your mobile let me know.
Do keep in touch with each other by phone and within the Government
restrictions. I'm sure you have made good and lasting friendships through
the WI and it would be such a pity to lose that.
Take care and keep safe.
Love to all.
Viv x
