In early December,
we had our annual Christmas lunch to start the festive season
off. Home made soup and mince pies, not to mention crackers,
made it a special event as usual. The committee had done lots
of hard work, and the table was beautifully laid.
A very enjoyable
evening was had by some of our members at the popular Carol
Service held in the Great Hall, part of the almshouses behind
Cobham Church, organised by a member`s
husband, helped by his family and small grandson, who sang a
solo.
Also in December,
we had our last Book Club Meeting of 2011, reading John
Steinbeck`s “Grapes of Wrath”.
Whilst appreciating the literary merit of the book, I disliked
it intensely although I was in the minority. Perhaps 2012 will
bring some lighter reading along with the serious stuff.
Our President had a
social coffee morning early in the New Year. Outside there
seemed to be a cloudburst, but inside the company was good in
best WI tradition.
As usual, we should
be glad of any visitors to our meetings on the third Tuesday of
each month. If interested, please ring Mary Clark on
01474-822611, or Pamela Hodge on 01474-814457.
Happy New Year.
As always,
new members are welcome to join us on the third Tuesday of each
month, at
St. Mary's Church Hall,
Sole Street.
If interested, call me on
01474822611, or our Secretary on 01474457.

Our Book Club meets regularly in
members` homes about every six weeks.
There
are also courses and activities available to WI members,
at Denman College near Oxford.
We have a fund raising stall, raffle and competition at most of
the meetings.
There are one or two Craft Days throughout the year as well.
