Whow! So many things to do around the county
Federation have just issued details of a whole load of events around the city and county. You will be spoilt for choice on what to do. Why not get together with other MHWI members, car share and make an outing?
To tempt you, there is a garden tour at Brooksby College, followed by refreshments (including an evening option), There are two competitions: a quiz with a local venue in 
Little Bowden (let’s put MHWI on the map by getting a team together) and a photograph competition (you have all summer to click away).
Crafts include crochet and handstitched cards (panels for cards and memory books). You can also learn Indoor Bowls, join others at the monthly Lunch Club or attend a Faith Visit in Leicester. Looking ahead, there’s a holiday for members and non-members at Warners, Cricket St Thomas next January.
Saturday’s ACM meeting well received
On Saturday, several MHWI members attended the Leicestershire & Rutland Federation of WIs ACM meeting (annual council meeting?) at Leicester Grammar School, Great Glen. Several sources have been in touch to say what a good day it was. Below are some pictures from those who attended. Isabel Aldrich’s rhubarb and ginger cake was ‘highly commended’ and tasted ‘lush’ she reported that evening!
Oh, and next year, is the centenary of this event and the Federation is seeking a large venue so as many Leicestershire and Rutland members can attend as possible – watch this space for details.
