If you’ve wondered what Craft Club is all about, then maybe come along to next Thursday’s meeting on 1st June and have a go at blending and tasting your own teas. Gemma is leading the session. Full details on this flyer: tea blending class
The Club meets in the Lounge at the Congregational Church in Bowden Lane, 7 to 9 pm. Small charge for room hire and light refreshments available.
The sun is shining and, hopefully, here to stay for the summer. However, on opening this month’s flyers there’s one on a Christmas Market trip to Chatsworth and an art competition with a closing date of February 2018! Anyway, here are the links to a whole range of county wide events in the coming months:

Tonight the Craft Club is making paper craft boxes. They meet in the Lounge at the Congregational Church in Bowden Lane, 7 to 9 pm. Small charge for room hire and light refreshments available. New members very welcome.
They’ve also been planning ahead and topics for the next few months can be seen on the Craft Club page.
Tonight’s meeting began with ‘speed dating’. Members had several opportunities to have several ‘speedy’ chats to other members that they may not have met before, hopefully setting up the opportunity to get to know each other better at future meetings.
This set the basis for some lively discussions over cheese and wine to discuss the pros and cons of this year’s national resolutions: loneliness and plastic soup in our oceans.

President, Vicky Watts, introducing this year’s resolutions
There’s loads happening tonight!
Tonight is Resolutions Night, when members get their chance to have a say on the proposed lobbying issues by the National Federation of WIs. This year, the two to choose from are ‘Alleviating loneliness’ and, secondly, ‘Plastic soup: keeping microplastic fibres out of our oceans’. More details on pages 20-21 of the April issue of WI Life.
Cheese and wine evening tonight
We’ll be making this into a fun evening, too, helped along with cheese and wine for all members. Bring a bottle of your favourite tipple and a couple of glasses, too, to share with other members. Tea and coffee available at the start of the evening (but no refreshments).
See you there!
