April 2023.
We welcome Claire, Tracey and Karen onto the committee. Thank you for caring and wanting to support us.
Last month was our annual meeting , if you would like to see our reports they will be on the table at Thursday’s meeting.
This month’s coffee morning will be at Bredgar light railway at 11.00 20th April. Please let me know if you are coming for numbers.
There are several events and trips organized by the East Kent Federation which are on the EK news digital newsletter.
Don’t forget to check out the East Kent FB page, all their events are on there. I also try to put them on our FB page. IF you are not a member of our group yet, please join it. It’s an easy way to keep up to date and informed.
Please let me know if you don’t receive your WI life magazine each month or the digital East Kent Newsletter.
Please note the change to the date for the visit to the Physic Garden to Friday 28th at 11.00. This suits them better and the café will be open for us. If you want to join us please let me know or put your name on the list next month.
The food is freshly prepared to order, something like soup or curry type dish.
Spring Day at Canterbury will be on 12th April 9.30 £12. This is a fabulous day in Canterbury with several top notch speakers, such as gardeners, florists etc.This sells out very quickly. If you want to go you can either book online yourself, which guarantees your place, or ask us to book for you. Please let me know if you are attending . I am driving there with Bev and Teresa so have another space if you want a lift.
East Kent Federation have started to use www.ticketsource. Just put in East Kent Federation of WI’s. Obviously please let me know if you have booked independently so we can organize lifts.
There is a meeting in Canterbury on 19th April to discuss the Clean Rivers resolution. This is a good chance to learn more about the chosen resolution before our vote in May. We will of course prepare a report from both meetings.
There is a trip to Hatfield House on Tuesday 20th June, a bluebell walk at Challock on Wednesday 3rd May, croquet at Chartham Hatch on Friday 14th July and a trip to Belmont House on 27th July. We were going to organize a visit to Belmont this year so will join the Federation on this date instead.
In June I will be attending the Annual Meeting in Cardiff. If you would like to join this meeting online, please ask me for details. Lots of members are choosing to attend online and enjoy this. It’s a way of participating without the hassle.
Our May meeting this year Thursday 11th will be a discussion on the resolution then a Royal Coronation Tea to celebrate The King’s Coronation. We will need names on a list for catering numbers. Of course you may wish to wear crowns, red, white and blue or whatever you think is suitable for King Charles’ coronation.
The next Saturday lunch club will take place on Saturday 27th May 1pm at Red lion
Our annual Garden Party will take place 6th July at Frinsted Village Hall. Lifts will be provided. We will be asking you much nearer the time to bring a plate of food. We will provide a list of items. There may be a game or so.
Our birthday party will be on November 23rd (just for your diaries)
