An outing has been arranged for 17 October to Tiptree and lunch at
Perrywood Garden Centre. A coffee morning is held every month at the
Treble Tile. Next one 25 October at 10.30am.
We have an open meeting in November when Mr Furnival-Jones will talk about his
40 years at The Palace of Knightsbridge i.e. Harrods. Visitors £2 pay
on the door. We shall be welcoming many local WI's.
In September the president, Susan Leng welcomed members who enjoyed a talk from Canine Partners Assistance Dogs, helping people with physical disabilities. The wheelchair bound speaker brought along Guy, his dog, who demonstrated his skills used around the home and when out shopping.
In August five members visited WI Denman College for the day near Oxford and spoke about their impressions during social time. Squares are being knitted and made up into blankets for the special care baby unit.
Mr Rick Boreham was this month's speaker. He is a volunteer with West Mersea RNLI. With the aid of slides members heard about the history of the organization and the many incidents involving the Mersea Lifeboat. He also put on the suit the men wear when going out on a call.
