WOOKEY HOLE W.I. December Meeting Report.
There was a festive flavour in a beautifully
decorated hall at our December meeting. Christmas
jumpers were in abundance and mulled wine
greeted our ladies on arrival.
We were delighted to see Sue B, Diane and
Sheila returning after a period of ill health.
Jill welcomed the daughter of Sue H who was
visiting from Alaska and our W.I. guest Hazel Hillman.
It was a day for visitors as a new lady
joined us and was warmly welcomed by our members.
We were fortunate to have talented
musicians Juliet and Lucy with us and they accompanied us in a
rousing rendition of Jerusalem and birthday
greetings to our 'Christmas babies'.
Three of us attended the AGM at Taunton
where a parade of W.I. Banners took place. Lavinia proudly carried ours.
We had filled 13 shoe boxes with gifts for
young people at the YMCA. and added them to the ones given by other WI's.
bring Christmas treats for the food bank and Myrtle went home with a car
laden with
good things. Everyone was thanked for their
generosity and then we sat back and enjoyed the music provided by Juliet
and Lucy.
They played a selection of music to suit all
tastes including well known songs and Christmas Carols which had us
singing along.
They told us about their musical careers
which were fascinating. We were indeed lucky that they had agreed to
entertain us
and were thanked by Jill.
Before we devoured the delicious
spread provided by our committee, Sue H read a very funny monologue
about the fairy on the
Christmas tree. She had also provided a
Christmas Quiz which stretched the brain cells. Many went home with
raffle prizes and cakes
from Elizabeths laden sales table.
Our next meeting is on Monday 6th Jan.
2.30pm at Wookey Hole Community Hall. Visitors most welcome.
