LEDBURY WI

THE President Margaret Coulson welcomed members to the May meeting.

Minutes of the previous meeting were placed on the table for members to read, items were read from the newsletter and members were encouraged to attend forth coming events. Margaret said she and her husband had visited the Saxty Charity Shoot which had raised £8,000 for Federation Funds as this were their chosen charity for this years event.

The main business of the evening was to debate the Resolution going forward to the 100th AGM in June. The President opened the debate by reading the Resolution to the members - Failing to care - Assessment of need in long term care. Members had all read the write-up in WI Life and Margaret had sheets of information for which she gave an overview. Some ladies told of their experiences and others expressed their views, the vote was then taken and it was a unanimous yes.

As there was not a speaker members amused themselves with a quiz or two, the first being new money for old which they had to think back to the beginning of the seventies to find the answers. Then they held a true and false quiz after which they were ready for their refreshments.

Refreshed - the Birthday Poses were handed out by Margaret and the results of the competition were given. Members were reminded of the Writers Club meeting on Thursday, May 21, Luncheon Club Wednesday, May 27 and the Craft/Sewing TBA.

June 10 at 7.30pm will be the next meeting of Ledbury WI where members will welcome Jason Donaldson the Manager of the Co-op speaking on Fair Trade Produce in the Parish Hall, Catholic Church, New Street, Ledbury.
