This has come my way from a friend in Kibworth and MHWI members may be interested in attending. I plan to go.   Contact details in the message

Hi lovely people

I hope you don’t mind a mass mail out, but I am doing a push for a fundraising event we are organising at our village hall in Kibworth on Tuesday 27 September and wondered if you, or someone you know might be interested in coming along?

My cousin Julie Summers is an author and wrote a book called Jambusters about the history of the WI, that ITV then turned into the drama Home Fires which ran on ITV for 2 series on a Sunday evening.  As part of our efforts to raise money for the hall, she is coming to give an illustrated talk on Tuesday 27th September. Doors open at 7 and Julie will be talking at 7.30. It won’t be a late night and should be finished by 9. Tickets are £5 each and all proceeds are for the Hall.

I am biased as she is my cousin, but she is a very good speaker and worth a listen if you are free that night? I do appreciate that it might not be your thing, but if you know anyone else who is a fan of the WI and may like to be there, please do pass on my mobile number 07919 410512 or email me back. We have sold lots of tickets already, but I would really like it to be a full house if possible.

If you want to know anything else about the evening, please do come back to me. Kibworth Ladies Choir will be performing while guests arrive and there will be refreshments available. It’d be lovely to see you there if you have a gap in your diary at all that night.

Many thanks

Erica
