First I must apologise<br />
for the error in last<br />
month’s report. The<br />
Eagle - eyed amongst<br />
you will have noticed<br />
that the meeting date<br />
was wrong. We hold<br />
our Birthday Party<br />
every year in October so the date<br />
should have read October 1st.<br />
Soup ‘n’ Puds<br />
On Friday November the 2nd<br />
we held another of our popular Soup<br />
‘n’ Puds lunches. It was very well<br />
attended so thank you to all who<br />
supported our efforts.<br />
On the evening of November the 5th<br />
we began our Annual Meeting of<br />
<strong>2012</strong> by singing Jerusalem before<br />
getting down to business. We first had<br />
the Financial Report from our<br />
Treasurer Angela Jenner and a report<br />
on the past year from our Secretary,<br />
Zena Dakeyne. Zena has been a very<br />
valuable member of our committee for<br />
many years but unfortunately has<br />
decided to stand down for 2013. We<br />
would like to thank her for all her hard<br />
work on our behalf. There followed an<br />
address from myself, the President, in<br />
which I talked about events of the past<br />
year and took the opportunity to<br />
express my thanks to everyone who<br />
makes our W.I. what it is today. The<br />
Committee for the coming year was<br />
decided upon and I was re-elected as<br />
President. Our area Advisor, Andrea<br />
Davis, said a few words and was very<br />
complimentary about our activities and<br />
achievements during the past year. We<br />
were then free to enjoy the talk<br />

COMMUNITY NEWS<br />
BACTON & DISTRICT W.I. Monday November 5th <strong>2012</strong><br />
by Peter Banham on ‘Old Sayings and<br />
their Origins’.<br />
This was very interesting as he asked<br />
us to guess the origins of many well<br />
known sayings. Although some<br />
members knew one or two of them<br />
and others made some very competent<br />
stabs at guessing, he mainly surprised<br />
us with a large fund of knowledge<br />
about lots of sayings we hear everyday<br />
but take for granted.<br />
Peter’s wife had accompanied him and<br />
set up a stall of craft items which she<br />
was selling in aid of Redwings Horse<br />
Sanctuary.<br />
Our next meeting will be on <strong>Dec</strong>ember<br />
the 5th when Linda Scoles will be<br />
amusing us with tales of ‘Disastrous<br />
Christmas Gifts’.<br />
Visitors welcome at £3.00 per<br />
session.<br />
