What a fantastic first pre-formation meeting for Cheshire Federation Virtual WI last night. Forty Two potential new members came along from our Federation and further afield including America and Canada.
It’s early stages yet but Helen and Angela our resident WI Advisers did a fabulous job. Lots of interest from existing members who are looking for a dual WI but a good selection of women completely new to the WI, unable to attend their WI anymore or just dipping their toe in.
We are looking for people who are interested in joining the committee or wanting to stand as Officers. Contact us if you fancy being part of Cheshire Federation history? You will be supported by the WI Advisors for a year which is our normal policy.
Thanks to Alia for some great vegan baking despite a technical hitch. One lady emailed to say one complaint about the evening was that it was a shame there was no smelly vision!
Thank you to our Board of Trustees who supported this initiative. Also both Jean Harding our Federation Chairman and Selina Prescott our Organisation and Membership Chairman for speaking at the meeting.
What did they think?
You had obviously all put in such a lot of work but it was well worth it.
My only complaint – no ‘smelly vision’ so that we could enjoy Alia’s biscuit demonstration!
We’re very lucky to be part of such a great Fed.
It was a good meeting
Looking forward to our next meeting on the 23rd March at 7.30. Email [email protected] for further information. Joan will be showing us how to make a lovely display using ‘supermarket’ flowers.
