December 2017 : 99 Years Young !
2017 was a big year for our WI, it marked 99 years since we were formed way back in December 1918.
We'd also worked very hard over the year to raise funds for our official 100th Birthday Party in 2018 and also to fund a free party for the local villagers and their children, destined to take place in June 2018.
So we thought we deserved some cake, and our final meeting of the year was turned over into a celebration where we could kick back and relax after the hard work of the year.

As you might expect, it was one of our noisier meetings with everyone relaxing and getting into the Christmas spirit.
Here you can see our 99th Celebration cake (made by Maureen and Jenny) and Sally Hall, one of our past presidents, about to cut into it.
You might also notice the tables being lit by Pauline's bottle lamps, they really do get everywhere !
