October 2024

President Julie Andrews welcomed 35 members and 1 guest to the meeting. Elisa and her team were thanked for providing refreshments and Gill Roffey was thanked for the flower arrangement for the president’s table.

Members decided that they would support this year’s NFWI campaign ‘Dental care matters’ by donating toothbrushes and tooth paste to a local food bank. These will be collected at the November meeting. It was also noted that we had sent a donation of £194.15 to Folkestone Baby Basics that had been raised at last month’s meeting.

Julie went through the relevant sections of the proposed new NFWI Governance document and members were happy with the new proposals. Two members volunteered to be stewards at the EKF ACM .

Unfortunately our speaker was unable to attend the meeting, but Daphne with her helper Christine ran a very enjoyable session of bingo to entertain us all.

While this was happening Elisa and her team heated up the leek and potato soup in the kitchen.

Everyone helped rearrange the tables and then we all sat down to enjoy the delicious soup lunch.

Christine Burgoyne gave the vote of thanks.
