Hello readers, here's an update on the activities of the WI during the last couple of months.
We had a very interesting talk in June from a representative of the Kent Air Ambulance Service. He told us that the service is a registered charity and is funded by donations. £6.5 million is needed every year to keep it going and he asked us to spread the word and encourage people to support them in whatever way they can - after all any one of us might need their help at some time in our lives.
The speaker for the July Meeting didn't think it necessary to let us know that he wouldn't be coming and it was too late to find another one. We were to have learned how to look after our hair but instead we dealt with the monthly business, had an extended "tea and chat" and went home early. You win some, you lose some!
We don't have a meeting in August, but we will be getting together for a "posh tea party" in a member's garden.
We hope to see some new faces on the 8th of September in the Village Hall at 7:30pm when the speaker will be giving us "a taste of medieval cooking".
