At our March meeting we held our AGM, long postponed due to Covid. Thanks to the lovely Carol and Gerry of Middlesex Federation who joined us to keep us all in line and made sure we did everything properly! We'll have minutes soon, but to summarise we all agreed the Annual Report and the Financial Statement, and then Claude was re-elected to the role of President for 2022/23.
The formal committee of LWEWI for the next year is:
- President: Claude Asgill
- Secretary: Natalie Miller
- Treasurer : Pam Young
- Membership Secretary: Christine Canter
- Committee member without portfolio: Helena Roden
We then had an online talk exploring the life of Adelaide Hoodless and the events that led to the formation of the WI as well as how the WI made its way to the UK. Huge thanks to our speaker Lisa Greenly who joined us all the way from Victoria, British Columbia (and valiantly battled through all our technical issues!)
Our next meeting is on Wednesday 20th April at the Upper Vestry Hall of St George's Bloomsbury, when we'll be having an illustrated talk about "Eating your greens, the ecology of vegetables" with Jane McLauchlin. Jane is an experienced speaker on a number of topics around ecology and the natural world, so this should be a fascinating talk. More details to come nearer the time.
