Kingston
The business part of the meeting then followed with the treasurer’s report, an invitation to help plan the 2017 programme, requests for help for the WI Tea Tent for the Village Fete, and an offer of a few places in the First Aid course to be run in the Pavilion in July.
Kingston activities were announced: the walk will be today, Friday, meeting at the end of The Street at 9.30am; Tap Dancing in the Parish Hall on Thursdays April 14 and 28 at 7.30pm; the Book Group to be cancelled for this month as it clashes with the Queen’s 90th birthday celebration event at the Pavilion and on the Downs; Pilates on Tuesdays in the Parish Hall, 2pn to 3pm (spaces for new members); Craft Group on Fridays at 2pm in the Pavilion with a new project of crocheted and knitted flowers for an entry in the South of England Show in June; and the Singing Group on Fridays at Peggy Nicholson’s house, preparing for their next concert. A very full basket on a coffee theme was completed, to be taken to the Federation Annual Meeting in Eastbourne on April 9. This in fact was the very first basket to be sold on the day.

Hide AdThe AGM of the National Federation of WI’s will be held this year in Brighton and will hopefully be attended by four members of Kingston WI. Two resolutions have been selected to be taken to this meeting, to be voted on by the members: Appropriate care in hospitals for people with dementia and Avoid food waste, address food poverty. If a majority of members vote in favour of the resolution, it then becomes a mandate for the WI, allowing both national and local campaigning. Kingston WI members will cast their votes at the next meeting, which will be held at Iford and Kingston School on Thursday May 5 at 7.30pm. (Moved due to local elections). The speaker for the evening will be Edwina Griffith; her talk entitled Backing into the Unknown - at a certain age. Visitors are always very welcome to attend our meetings.
