January monthly meeting – a couple of things!
Do join us for a fun and friendly evening of Egyptian Dancing on Wednesday 23 January 2013. Rose Metaxa will demonstrate and there’ll be a chance to have a go. So checkout your wardrobe for that floaty scarf with coins you’ve always wanted to wear and didn’t dare, and bring it along. You could be the star of the evening!
Membership fees – these are now overdue. Do remember to bring along your cheque book or some cash. It’s £33 but where else can you have 11 nights’ out for £3 each? Not only that, you can meet new friends and try out new things.
There’s an exciting social programme too, so remember to check out the noticeboards when you come along and put your name down. Again, have some spare cash with you to put down a deposit when booking.
If you have any unwanted gifts that you can donate to our monthly raffle, then pop them in a bag and bring them along and give to any commitee member.
Finished reading your Christmas books? Then bring them along and donate them to the book box so someone else can enjoy them, too. You can browse through the box and for a small donation to MHWI fund raising you can even take away a book of your choice to while away these dark winter evenings.

Christmas gets off to a get start!
WI members enjoyed a festive end to the year by celebrating in style!
Market Harborough Choral Society set the scene by singing a range of new and traditional carols in the Congreational Church, WI members accompanying them on old favourites.
A Dutch supper followed. The tables were laden with a whole range of seasonal foods – moe pounds to burn off in the new year! Top marks though to Patsy’s husband’s Millionaires’ sortbread – delicious!
Teams then competed in a Christmas quiz. Team Totally Crackers just (only just though) won, completing rounds on 2012 Headlines, Christmas facts and Pictionary.
Finally, the winner of the Christmas bunting competition was announced and the raffle was drawn.

Christmas raffle
Do pick up your book of raffle tickets at the November meeting. We have a hundred books, so there’s one for every member to take and sell to friends and family. This is our major fund raising event for 2012, and will set us up for funding our future programme of events, such as paying for the venue and visiting speakers. (Out of the £33 annual subscription, a proportion goes to the Leicestershire and National Federations of the WI, leaving us with £14.80 per member.)
Don’t forget, too, to bring in donations for the hampers – local food and drinks would be very welcome.

Unwanted books
Do you have unwanted books at home? Then bring them along to future monthly meetings and donate them to the book box. Take a moment, too, to browse through the box and maybe see something you would like to read. All we ask is that you make a small monetary donation for selecting a book to read yourself – it’s up to you. All money raised in this way will go into Market Harborough WI funds.
Have a sort out now – I have a pile to bring in to the October meeting.
