February 2017 EDITION

Hello everyone - it's hard to believe that February is here -
the time seems to fly past these days just shows how busy
we all are, especially in the W.I.
This year is the Centenary of the Essex Federation; a lot of
events have been planned I will give details of these in the coming months.
In November our speaker Lisa Andress gave an extremely informative and
interesting presentation about the way in which she had developed and
designed paper based flowers. She brought along a number of excellent
examples, members were able to have a try and with her help produced
some good results.
In December we all enjoyed a wonderful Christmas lunch at Wildens
Restaurant, Bocking - it was a great way to end the year.
After lunch our President, Maureen Lofting, presented Jackie Hawkes, the
overall winner of the monthly competitions, with the Margaret Tanner Dish
and Jean Wells and Maureen herself the winners of the monthly flower
competitions were presented with the Stella Preston Bowl. Well done to
them and all the runners-up; members will have to up their game this year.
Our speaker this month will be Angela Clarke giving a talk entitled “Alive
and Kicking” about the various traditions of Morris Dancing interspersed
with dancing demonstrations. Gosh this should be fun, hope we are not
expected to have a go - ha!
The competition will be “Dancing Shoes”.
Please remember we welcome new faces so feel free to come along to any
of our meetings we are very friendly and there is always an opportunity to
have a chat during tea break and of course enjoy the lovely cakes etc that
our members provide.
Just a reminder we meet every third Monday 7.30pm at the Sible
Hedingham Baptist Church.
Bye for now
