Report for October 2007

Mrs.Ann Diamond, the President, welcomed members to the October meeting of Lynsted-w-Teynham W.I.  We were glad to hear that Nancy Spears was now home from hospital.  We were sorry to hear that Biddie Willis had broken her wrist, a get-well card has been sent, along with our best wishes.  Three members had attended the Group Meeting at Newnham W.I. and the members who had attended the Autumn Day at the Alexander Centre in Faversham, had a very enjoyable day.  Two of our members, Ann Diamond and Jean Stainton, were fashion models at the Fashion Show at St. Margaret’s, this was a very popular event and after their initial nervousness, the two models thoroughly enjoyed themselves. 

Future dates to remember are, an Autumn Walk round Faversham on the 9th October and Gloria Fox will be holding a Coffee Morning on the 10th October.  There will be a Ploughman’s Lunch before the Annual Meeting in November; this will start at 1pm.  The Christmas Lunch will be on the 19th December, members who wish to attend should put their name on the list. 

Joyce Brightman and Marian Cook served refreshments.  Ann Diamond then introduced the speaker Mrs. Ann Martin.  Mrs. Martin gave a talk on Handmade Cards.  A number of different methods were demonstrated, Peel-offs, Three dimension, Decoupage and Iris folding, we were shown some lovely small gift boxes.  Mrs. Joyce Brightman thanked Mrs. Martin on behalf of the members.  

The winner of the competition for a handmade card was Barbara Skelton; a Chrysanthemum entered by Barbara Dale won the flower of the month competition. 

The next meeting is on the 7th November 2.15pm at the Community Hall, 1pm for the Ploughman’s Lunch
