President Ruth Cairns gave a warm welcome to Bostock & District WI members at the recent AGM. Their Christmas Party will be on December 9, with the usual Hot Pot supper followed by desserts made by members. The traditional Walking Group lunch (non-walkers welcome) will be at the Woodpecker on January 14, 2015 and the New Year lunch is to be booked for February 3, at The Fox and Hounds.

Feedback on the recent night out to the Lyceum to see ‘Black Coffee’ was good. Thanks to Margaret Webb for organising the trip. Jenny Kennerly won the Margaret Dickens cup for her photograph of A Cat under a Blanket. A number of “Twiddle Muffs” were knitted for the Produce Show, they were donated to Davenham Hall for residents’ use.

The AGM went smoothly. Ruth’s annual report was excellent as was the report from the Secretary and the Treasurer was thanked for her perfect and concise financial report. Wendy Cadwallender has taken over from Ruth as President; Eva Williamson has been nominated as Secretary and the new Treasurer is Jenny Kennerley. Helen Sutton gave a warm vote of thanks to the outgoing President and to the Committee and Ruth was presented with a bouquet of flowers.

The next meeting is the Christmas party, on December 9.
