July Meeting Report
July Meeting Report
President Madeleine welcomed everyone to the meeting, especially Shirley, who has been unable to join us for some time due to ill health. We were delighted to see her again and spend time with her.
Our speaker Viv Truran, has been a visiting speaker at Wenvoe WI for many years and it was good to have her back. We all thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the stories and facts behind a selection of items that Viv passed around for us to see. They included a Vaseline Glass Vase (which was quite valuable), Victorian postcards of local landmarks and a beautiful handmade purse/small bag displaying hundreds of tiny beads, all sewn on by hand. We are looking forward to Viv’s visit next year to see what treasures she will be sharing with us then.
We all enjoyed strawberries and cream and then moved on to WI business. Members were thanked for their contributions towards the success of our recent Charity Tea. At our October meeting we shall be giving a generous contribution to the Breast Centre at Llandough Hospital.
Names were collected for Wenvoe Garden Centre on 10th July to celebrate Gloria’s special Big Birthday and final arrangements were put in place for our trip to Radyr Garden Village on 22nd July.
Our next meeting will be on Thursday 5th September (there is no meeting in August). We will be collecting names and payment for our Fish and Chip Supper in November. September’s speaker will be Abi Reader who will be giving us an insight into ‘Cows on Tour’. Any visitors can be assured of a warm welcome and there is no charge.
