102 women attended our first meeting of the year on Monday, for our Bring and Buy Sale and Quiz. We welcomed some new members, and have said goodbye to others. Every member should have a programme, and a Membership Booklet for 2012. Your membership card is to be found on the first page of this. If you have just joined there will be a name badge for you to collect at the next meeting. If you did not manage to attend and pay your subscription, it can be posted to Val Barnes, or Lesley Challacombe.
77 Members and 2 guests enjoyed mince pies and mulled wine on Monday evening, which put us all in the mood for a most enjoyable sing along of Seasonal songs and led by Michaela Kent, who also entertained us with some solos. We had a most enjoyable evening, thank you to all concerned.
We welcomed 91 members and 2 guests to our Annual Meeting this month, together with Sally Dampney, the Surrey WI Adviser who formed our WI and has supported us ever since. Sally is retiring this year, and so we will have a new adviser at our next meeting. We also welcomed Gill Holder and Sally Winfield from SW19WI, who acted as our tellers. The formal notices were given and then Susan Bowler, the Treasurer presented accounts for the year ended 30th September, which were accepted by the Meeting.
