Your committee met recently to finalise the arrangements for the Chocoholics evening on Wednesday 2 October at 7.30 pm at the Congregational Church, Bowden Lane, Market Harborough – make sure the date’s in your diary, and you can bring a friend, too. Here’s Hazel working us hard packing up all the prizes:

Wednesday 25th September is our second Annual General Meeting. This will be followed by a Dutch Supper (members bring food or nibbles to share) and Food and Drink Quiz. It should be a good, fun evening and the chance to mix and meet new people as you test your knowledge of food and wine.
The evening begins at 7.30 pm. If you really want to relax and have a drink, then bring a bottle of wine and a glass or two to share with members.
Members attended a monthly meeting earlier this summer and made corn dollies. Fiona Thompson, Committee Member, has shared these delightful pictures. Isn’t the little mouse cute?
All WIs need to raise money to pay for expenses such as venue costs and speakers. 
Each of us pays an annual membership fee and a proportion of this goes to county and regional WI funds. For this reason, WIs need to raise additional funds. This can be an exciting challenge and an opportunity to share an experience or have fun with other members and visitors.
If you have a good fund raising idea, then do speak to a Committee Member at the next monthly meeting, Contact Us or call 07547 890 756. We’re looking at ideas for an event in 2014. This will be our major opportunity to raise funds.
If you’d like to join a small team taking the fund raising idea forwards (or any other idea that is suggested) then, again do speak to a Committee Member, Contact Us or call 07547 890 756. It’s a great opportunity to get involved with the Market Harborough WI, do something for the local community and meet new friends, too.
Many thanks to Evanda Greenwood, Social Secretary, for arranging the quiz this evening. It was held at Engima and they made us very welcome. Seventeen members and visitors took part in answering 40 questions that spanned general knowledge, history and geography.
Try one of our questions that created much debate on our table? Which parts of the body keep growing? (see below for answer)
Team Bananas won with 37 points, followed by WI knows 32 points, Sooty & Co 30 points, New Ones 27 points and Sizzling Sisters 19 points.
Teams: New Ones and Sizzling Sisters
Team: Sooty & Co and quiz leader, Evanda
Teams: WI Knows and Bananas
Members enjoyed their monthly meeting on 26 June, making corn dollies. ‘A super evening’, reports Hazel Stacey, President. Thanks to Fiona Thompson, Committee Member for the picture.
On Wednesday 10th July, join us at Enigma Bar and Café on Coventry Road, Market Harborough for a quiz night. The quiz starts at 7.30 pm and entry is £1 per person.
Hope you can make it. Should be a fun evening and as well as a great chance to meet new friends.
