Patsy from Croscombe WI

We commenced our meeting with a rousing rendition of 'Jerusalem'

A few interesting events are due as summer approaches and plans for these were put in place. They include afternoon tea at Jills house, a visit to the Lavender Farm and lunch at Sue's.

Resolutions were discussed . Lesley H addressed the Country Bus Resolution and Myrtle tackled the Pro's and Con's of Cervical Smear Tests

Both were unanimously passed although some slight change of wording was suggested for the resolution about smear tests.

We voted for discretion for both resolutions.

Presentation and adoption of the Financial, the Committee and the Presidents report followed. Jenny thanked Jill,the President and Anne thanked the Committee.

Two of our committee members decided not to stand this  year. Jill thanked Elizabeth and Rose for their outstanding contribution  over the years.

Two new members were proposed and Jill welcomed Pat and Lavinia to the team.

There were no further nominations for President and Jill was  willing to continue in the post. The tellers were thanked , competitions 
were judged, and refreshments enjoyed.

We meet on the 1st Monday of the month at 2.30pm in Wookey  Hole Community Hall

Fire and Tempest at Wells Cathedral

 

There will be magnificent tempest and earthquake, spiritual battle and the voice of God at Wells Cathedral on 30th March, when Wells Cathedral Oratorio Society and the English Symphony Orchestra present Felix Mendelssohn’s Elijah. 
 
The Oratorio Society will be joined by soloists Elizabeth Atherton (soprano), Katy Bray (mezzo soprano), Peter Auty (tenor) and Ben McAteer (bass) for this, one of the most important choral works of the nineteenth century in the great tradition of Bach and Handel. The Conductor is Matthew Owens.
 
Last performed by the Society in Wells in 2006, the audience can once again experience the power, excitement and tension of this epic musical drama telling the story of the prophet Elijah. 
 
Felix Mendelssohn said, 1838: "I imagined Elijah as a real prophet through and through, of the kind we could really do with today: Strong, zealous and, yes, even bad-tempered, angry and brooding—in contrast to the riff-raff, whether of the court or the people, and indeed in contrast to almost the whole world—and yet borne aloft as if on angels’ wings." 
 

Elijah, Felix Mendelssohn

Wells Cathedral, Saturday 30 March, 7pm

The butterflies are beginning to need counting up the Mendips! 
Caroline Tetley and I and various others try to cover each week in the summer moths on a two hour walk up the Mendips counting and identifying these butterflies using a chart with pictures to help recognise each species
We started a fortnight ago and only saw three on each trip and these were peacocks and small tortoiseshell. However there will be many more very soon. It is a lovely thing to do  to take this idyllic  walk ;a little bit tough perhaps but very beautiful.

WOOKEY HOLE W.I. DECEMBER 2018 MEETING
 
    It was almost a 'full house' at our December meeting and seasonal celebrations were top      
    of the agenda.
    Christmas jumpers were in abundance ,a bumper raffle , music, and a table laden with festive 
    goodies set the scene.
         Mulled wine was consumed whilst the ladies pondered over a Christmas Quiz provided by 
   Sue H. We then invited everyone to draw on their artistic skills by cutting out a shape and 
   adding it to a blank sheet of paper. We did provide some templates if needed.
    Gradually a rather lovely Nativity picture emerged . 
   The end result was much better than we expected ! 
   Our masterpiece will now be displayed at the Nativity Festival at St Cuthberts Church.
         Jill thanked everyone for making poppies and sharing  their personal stories for our         Remembrance display in November.
  Thanks were also expressed to those who had brought 'goodies' for the food bank.
   Sounds of "Happy Christmas" echoed around the hall as members made their way home.
 
   Jill Deane    Picture of our masterpiece provided and also a party picture.
