President Christine Farquhar welcomed 39 members to the May meeting aka The Resolutions Meeting. Hortense was thanked for the flowers and Ann B; Sue C and Carol K were thanked for voulunteering as hostesses.
The record of the last meeting was agreed and signed. Our Treasurer gave a finance report.
Christine thanked the members who had made scones to go with the usual tea and coffee. The scones were delicious.
Sandgate Society Big Green Fair 7 June. CGWI have booked a stall for the Fair and volunteers are needed to man the stall. Also, volunteers are needed to knit /crochet green hearts to decorate the stall. Amid much laughter Christine showed us her “efforts” and said that the reputation of CGWI was at stake!!
Dawn Neale then led us through the two resolutions for the NFWI Annual Meeting in June. The first was to encourage the provision of accessible toilets, the second was to reduce women’s homelessness. After listening to Dawn’s excellent resume of the resolutions a vote was taken, and the results will be forwarded to our delegate to the Annual Meeting.
After enjoying the excellent scones and a catch up with friends we settled down to play Call My Bluff. Kate D was the quizmaster
Gill R, Mandy E and Kay H gave the explanations of the obscure words Kate had found.
They were ably assisted by Valerie T.
Much laughter and puzzling ensued. Table 2 were the winners and as, according to Kate, it was World Coca Cola Day the prize was a carton of coca cola.
Julie A gave the vote of thanks.
An added highlight of the morning was the behaviour of two frisky cows and a bull in the field next to the Lads’ Club. Very appropriate as it was Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday!
