September Activities
President Madeleine welcomed everyone to the meeting and gave a big thank you for all the kind thoughts and support she received during a very sad, difficult year.
Catrin, from Wales Air Ambulance gave us a very interesting talk, with slides. Wales obtained its own first air ambulance in 2001 and the very first one was sited at Fairwood Common in Swansea. Now Wales has enough air ambulances to get anywhere in the country within 20 minutes. A fully equipped air ambulance costs £5½ million and it will need a landing space the size of a tennis court.
At the end of the presentation Madeleine gave Catrin our donation to Wales Air Ambulance – the result of our 2018 fundraising.
After refreshment we proceeded with WI business. Culverhouse Cross WI has invited us to a Harvest Supper on October 11th and some members are visiting Sully WI on October 3rd to celebrate their 70th Birthday. Menu choices were available for our lunch on September 10th (to celebrate Betty’s recent 90th birthday) at the Wenvoe Arms. We are pleased to hear that Mair is progressing well after her recent new pacemaker. A big thank you was extended to Pam E. for her time and effort in producing a scarecrow for the festival, to represent the WI.
Next month’s meeting is on Thursday, October 4th at Wenvoe Church Hall. The speaker will be Damian Murray who will talk to us about podiatry. Visitors can be assured of a warm welcome and there is no charge.
