November 17th Annual General Meeting & Mexican evening social

Members & Visitors - please come & be part of our essential AGM, it's only once a year and a great opportunity to find out about WI local politics.

This year we are in the happy position of having new volunteers for the officer roles. So what happens at the AGM - The entire committee retires and the members elect a new committee and President. The current officers President Carrie Graham & Treasurer Helena Roden & Secretary Heather Willensky are retiring from these officer roles after a two year stint. Many of the existing committee are willing to continue and take on the officer roles if re-elected to the committee. A very positive state of affairs! This is great news for our WI. There is room for more members to join the committee......

If you are a member of our WI and would like to volunteer for the committee or take on a non committee helping role then please do email Carrie via londonwestendwi@googlemail.com if you would like to talk it over before saying Yes.

Also if you are a new member and not sure about taking on a role, then you might like to shadow or assist a committee member during this next year to find out more.

After all this business we will be making alcoholic & non alcoholic margheritas at our Mexican themed social, so bring something with a Mexican theme ... not swine flu please.

October's Knitting Tea Party

This was an outstanding success with members & visitors. Long time knitters, new knitters & reluctant knitters were inspired to give it a go. Close on 30 women knitting & a couple of crocheters (?) spent the evening knitting, exchanging tips and making new connections through knitting.

Remember to bring your knitting to the AGM if you need help, it's a mexican theme night so knitted ponchos & somberos welcome.

Thank you to Heather & helpers for organising this event
