What no snow! Yippee and the first meeting of 2009 when several of our members who had been unable to get to the hall because of the previous bouts of snow and ice were able to join us in a very fun meeting.

Every effort was made to keep business to a minimum; however it was felt very important to remind the ladies of two forthcoming events the “Resolution Lunch” set to take place prior to the May meeting and a trip to Hampton Court Palace on Tuesday 23 June. The trip to HCP is open to non WI members and so if you are interested in finding out more about it please contact Linda on 01303 891734.

Carole, our president, welcomed Andy who was going to explain and demonstrate exercises to keep us supple as we get older. What happens – an earthquake - and the hall shook!

Carole was of the opinion that Andy had made the ground move for us all – and he blushed! It set a really light hearted tone to the rest of the afternoon and once we had stood up and sat down a few times and rotated this joint and that joint we were all nicely warmed up and ready for the next phase – charades.

These proved really popular with much laughter and banter echoing round the hall – a very enjoyable meeting.

Birthday greetings had been extended to just three members this month; Audrey Godden, Pat Blanks and Pat Lamb and the monthly competition for “An Unusual Purse” was won by Christine Allard.

Next month, on Tuesday 7th April, we are going to hear about “Saving Canterbury Cathedral”. The meeting starts at 2pm (finishing by 4.15pm) in Hawkinge Village Hall and newcomers are made very welcome, so please if you are free come along and see what we have to offer.

For more information please contact either Carole Seabrook on 01303 891420 or Margaret Charlton on 01303 892721.
