April Meeting of Wenvoe W.I.
WOMEN’S INSTITUTE
April Meeting of Wenvoe W.I.
Wenvoe WI met for their monthly meeting on Thursday 3rd April. The speaker on that occasion was Mrs Brenda Webster – a professional piano accordionist. Brenda gave us a history of the accordion, which originated in France and Italy in the mid nineteenth century. The instrument underwent many modifications in both shape and function before the final production of today’s modern instrument. Brenda gave us a delightful demonstration and soon had us all singing along to her skilful playing.
The next meeting of Wenvoe WI will take place on Thursday 1st May, at 7.00pm in the Church Hall. This will be the annual AGM when we will welcome Mrs Claire Atherton our WI Advisor. Mrs Atherton will preside over the inauguration of the new Committee for 25/26, as well as conduct a ballot for the next President.
Mrs Janet Young has decided to step down from the role of President and Committee member, as also has Mrs Jean Woodman from the Committee. Both have served Wenvoe WI since the revival of our meetings after Covid.
There is a special date for the diary: on 1st May from 10.00am until 12 noon, Wenvoe WI is holding an open Coffee Morning. Entry charge is £3 to include a hot drink and a cake. There will be a tombola stall and a raffle. Much of the proceeds will be donated to Ty Hafan – our charity for this year. All are ensured of a warm welcome.
We wish all readers and villagers a Happy Easter.
Jan Young (President)
