Peta carried out the draw for the new annual Educational Bursary which will go to Dawn. Then we moved straight on to the Annual Meeting.
The record of the last Annual Meeting was approved and signed. There were no matters arising. The Treasurer presented the Financial Statement which was proposed, seconded and approved. Secretary Biddy Fraser presented the Trusttee’s Annual Report outlining the highlights of Castle Green WI’s year. In the President’s Address Christine also spoke of the events and speakers we had enjoyed over the last year and how much she herself had learned. She thanked the committee for their help and advice.
The committee for the coming year was introduced, and voting took place for President. Christine Farquhar will be President for another year. Finally Margaret Alcock gave the vote of thanks to the committee.
We then relaxed with coffee and cakes and a good natter, while the raffle was drawn and prices chosen.
Next Kate and Julie B then took over and we played Dog Bingo. A new game for our WI and a good time was had by all.
