Our year started this week with all the buzz of a new program and great attendance for the talk by Marion Lewis OBE about scams and frauds.

Marion has long standing experience in fighting fraud and received her OBE for her service to community safety. Her talk about real life cases of cynical scams and their tragic consequences was both moving and eye opening. If you would like more information about the subject, why not visit http://www.thinkjessica.com where you can not only find information about scams and how they are operated, but also a wealth of good ideas to help protect yourselves. Let’s give those fraudsters a run for their money!

The Market Harborough WI Darts Team was in action again last night!

The group met at the Coach and Horses in Lubenham after having to move venue at short notice. The team at the pub was super helpful in arranging the event, the food was great and the evening a great success. Ton-Eighty!

A nearly full house of MHWI members enjoyed a fun Christmas meeting this week with a great session by Katherine Wright on sustainable present wrapping options. Members also had the chance to make their own bag from recycled papers such as wallpaper samples and old maps. Excellent fun and a great way to recycle even more. All this was accompanied by a lovely Dutch Supper and the launch of our program for the coming year – more details of this to follow shortly on this website.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and all the very best for a successful, healthy and content New Year!

The next monthly meeting is on 18th December – a week earlier than our usual slot.

To help us on our way to being organised for Christmas in true WI style, we will have a session with Katherine Wright about sustainable wrapping. We will also be having a Dutch Supper, so please remember to bring along your favorite dish and drink and don’t forget your own plate, cutlery and glass to avoid using single use plastic.
