NOVEMBER
All are welcome to Celebrate Christmas by joining us, along with your family and friends, at the Christmas Celebration in St John the Evangelist’s Church in Carlton in Lindrick on Saturday 14th December at 2 o’clock. This will include seasonal readings, Christmas carols and Christmas songs with an opportunity to join in with the singing. Afterwards refreshments will be served in the Parish Hall which is included in the price of £10. We must charge this amount because we have pay for the hire of the church and the hire of the hall. I do hope your WI will join us to make this event a successful afternoon as much time and effort has been invested in this. The enclosure is with your secretary now. As it says on the application form, if a week before the event, you have not received any tickets or notification, please contact the office.
OCTOBER
I’m sure the members who made a Beach Hut Etui at County House in September are pleased with their result. It was unfortunate that more people didn’t apply to join this activity as many hours were spent preparing the materials.
Coming up in October is the Autumn Quiz at Oxton Village Hall on Friday 18th October. The questions are only loosely based on music and it is a very lighthearted, fun quiz. Nothing too hard! We used to call this a music quiz but felt this was off-putting. Why not enter your WI for this? Up to four people per team.
The winners will be announced on the night.

SEPTEMBER
The Cream Tea with Clarins at John Lewis in Nottingham in July was so successful and enjoyable, I just had to mention it again! We were treated very well by the John Lewis organisation. Hopefully, we will be able to organise another session next year with a different topic.
The next Craft workshop is on Saturday 21st September at County House when you will have the opportunity to make a Beach Hut Etui. There are still a few places left on this workshop if you are interested and have missed the closing date. Please contact the office for more information.
The questions for the Autumn Quiz at Oxton on Friday 18th October are loosely based on music and subjects connected to music in some way and all the different genres. It is a very lighthearted fun quiz. We used to call this a music quiz but felt this was off-putting. Why not enter your WI for this quiz for up to four people per team. The winners are announced that night.
