Skittles evening – Thursday 18 October 2012

WI members are invited to a skittles evening at the Cherry Tree Inn, Kettering Road, Market Harborough (near Lidl), starting at 7 pm.  If you wish to eat, basket meals priced from approx £4, can be ordered on the evening.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve never played before, it’s a good chance to have a go and meet new people.  Come along and join in the fun.   Contact us with your name and phone number.

Laser Quest evening – Friday 9 November 2012

What is it?  For those not too sure, like me, Wikkipaedia says, ‘Laser Quest is the name of a Canadian-based indoor lasertag game based around infrared hand held units and vests, as well as the name of the company which operates each game centre.’

Join WI members and friends to find out and enjoy a fun evening in Northampton. £9.20 each for 2 games and one free one.   Go on, there’s a child in all of us waiting to play!  To pass on your contact details and to share transport, contact us.

Sausage making night – 22 August 2012

There will be a sausage making night at Waterloo Farm at Great Oxendon at 7pm on the 22nd August instead of the planned hobbies evening.  It costs £17.00 and you can take the sausages you make, home with you afterwards.  £5.00 Deposit is required.  Contact our social events secretary.
If we don’t see you at the sausage making night then have a good rest in August and we hope to see on the 26th September for a wine tasting session with Sue Lobb.

Skittles evening

The Bricklayer’s Arms at Kibworth hosted a WI Skittles evening on Friday 11 May.  Members had great fun playing both table and long alley skittles.  We found out that a ‘cheese’ is a hard, wooden lump that you throw to knock the skittles down: underarm, overarm and sideways all being tried with varying success!  A couple of people had played before and they happily explained the rules and scoring.  A simple, but tasty, pub supper completed the evening.

Everyone agreed it was successful evening and plans are already afoot for the next skittles evening in a Market Harborough pub.  Hope to see you there.  Details to follow.
