Well – this picture says it all:

It was a wet and windy evening last Wednesday when 26 odd hardy members of the Market Harborough WI met at the Church Hall in Fairfield Road to hold their AGM and have some fun despite the weather…

The evening started with the business ‘bit’ of the AGM – After Notices Bridget, our President, talked about the past year and the plans for the next one and Clare, the outgoing Treasurer reported on the state of the MHWI finances. Both Bridget and Fiona (our Secretary) were confirmed in post and Michelle was voted in as the new Treasurer. This fills the statutary positions and allows our WI to continue for another year. In addition to Bridget, Fiona and Michelle, Carolyn has agreed to continue looking after the membership administration and Lynn and Mary are joining the committee to lend a hand in committee activities.  A number of members have also kindly volunteered to help at the meetings.  Thank you to you all for giving your time to the running of the MHWI. We can always do with additional hands on deck, so if you would like to help please talk to one of the committee members at the next meeting!

Next followed the fun part of the evening – helped along with free cake and prosecco. Tables were set up with traditional (and some newer!) games and members had fun chatting, playing Jenga, Kerplunk, Dominoes, Connect Four Qwirkle and Twister and may be even learning a game they had not tried before.

Thank you to everyone who came along despite the weather and congratulations to our committee members!
