Hobby night meets for the first time on the 4th
Interested in joining the new MHWI hobby night? Want to add your ideas on its format? Then come along to the Lounge (next to the main hall) at the Congregational Church, Bowden Lane on Thursday 4 February 2016 at 7 pm.
Sarah Trappitt, Committee Hobby Night Co-ordinator, says, “We’ll start making the bunting for our Craft Fair in April and talking about what we want hobby meetings to look like in the future. We look forward to welcoming everyone on the 4th.”
If you have any questions before the 7th or can’t make the first meeting, then drop Sarah an email on: marketharboroughwi@gmail.comn
Brilliant Bollywood night!
Bollywood was a huge, knockout success as you will see from the photos: members, old and new and guests, all taking part. Amazing, too, was the Asian food supplied by local bakers, Wesses.
Make a flag for our new bunting
At the monthly meeting tomorrow, pick up a bunting template. You can use this to make your own unique flag for our new bunting to be on display at our Craft Fair at the Old Grammar School on Saturday 16 April 2016.
Colours are to follow the pastel themes on the bunting flags on our 2016 programme leaflet. There must be a back and front to each flag. Eighteen people will also be given black letters (to be attached as you wish) so that we can spell out ‘Market Harborough WI.’

Canadian recipe for you to try!
During our WI Centennial year we made contact with 2 WIs (or their equivalent Country Womens’ Associations) in Canada and Australia. Shelagh, our contact in Canada is a keen supporter of her local WI and was delighted to receive several copies of our leaflet ‘Top Tips’, which she will be sharing with members later this year at their annual meeting.
In the meantime, Shelagh has kindly sent a recipe for Travelling Ginger Cookies from a similar, Canadian collection of favourite recipes. Perhaps you’d like to try a batch for your friends and family? You can download the recipe here. Travelling Ginger Cookies
If you’re on the refreshment rota for February, then it would be great if you could make a batch for members to sample at the meeting.

Needed – unwanted bras and new pants!
As you have your January clear out, maybe you have come across bras that didn’t fit or you just don’t like. They can be teen bras or nursing bras, too.
Next time you buy some pants, pick up a spare pack, too (donations of these must be new!). These can be for children aged 3 to 15 years or womens’, sizes 8 to 16.
Bring them along to a monthly meeting in January, February, March or April. We’re collecting for Smalls for Africa. We’ll be sending off our collection after the April meeting. You can also speak to Vicky Watts at the next monthly meeting or email: marketharboroughwi@gmail.com
