Skittles evening success
Skittles at The Cherry Tree
Table skittles provided to be a great night out at The Cherry Tree, Market Harborough last Thursday. After a shaky start for some members, with ‘cheeses’ going anywhere but on the table, players went on to complete 2 games: an individual knock out and a team game. The practice paid off and several ‘tens’ were scored, giving a second chance to try again and score even more points.

Sausage making fun
Members enjoyed a fun night making sausages at Waterloo Farm, Great Oxendon on 22 August. They began by selecting the raw ingredients through to producing their own 
strings of sausages, helped along by the team at the Farm. At the end everyone took their own proudly produced string of sausages home to cook and share.

Friendship cake
“Absolutely delicious!!!!”, was committee member Fiona Thompson’s verdict when 
she made a Friendship Cake. I can vouch for that, too, having made one myself and sampled a friend’s. Make a starter and pass it round to other WI members to nurture and then make a German Friendship Cake Recipe themselves.
My bunting
Reply
Armed with my piece of calico bunting from the April meeting, I pondered on how to decorate this with a Diamond Jubilee theme. Then I spotted a bundle of fabric in a sewing shop in Leicester – just the thing – pieces of red, blue gingham and Union Jack flags. I spent a relaxing Saturday morning designing 2 flags, using patchwork as my theme, with buttons and loops to decorate. I proudly pegged them on the line at the May celebration evening, along with a couple of dozen others. The standard was very high and I was glad I had made an effort. Well done to the 2 winners.
