President Julie Andrews welcomed 41 members and one guest, Dorothy Douse our WI Advisor, to the February meeting which was also our Annual Meeting. Kay and Kate were thanked for being coffee hostesses and Marjorie was thanked for the flower arrangement. The record of the January meeting was approved and signed. Julie announced that we needed a delegate for the NFWI Annual Meeting on 4 June which will be entirely online this year.
After our usual business meeting we moved straight on to the Annual Meeting. The record of the last Annual meeting was approved and signed. The Treasurer presented the Financial Statement which was proposed, seconded, and adopted. The Secretary gave the committee’s annual report now know as the Trustees annual report.
Julie then gave her final President’s address after which the the reports were proposed, seconded, and adopted by the members. The new committee was introduced to the members
Dorothy Douse led us through the election of a new President. She reminded us that in the event of nobody “volunteering” to be President, the doors would be locked until we did have a President! Luckily, Christine Farquhar agreed to be our new President.
Margaret Alcock gave a vote of thanks to the outgoing committee for keeping Castle Green WI thriving and Gill Roffey thanked Julie for her work over the past three and a bit years.
After all this excitement coffee/ tea and cake was enjoyed by everyone while the new committee held their first meeting. Next on the agenda was a Beetle Drive which judging by the laughter and chat was enjoyed by the members.
