a board game evening in September. Several
members of the Guild joined a large gathering at
the County Trefoil Picnic held at the Guide
Centre in Princes Risborough where they were
entertained by a group of belly dancers and
finished the event with a traditional camp fire
sing song!
It’s that time again where I beat my
volunteering stick! We are on the look out for
anyone who wants to help in our units, whether
it be training to be a leader, a unit helper or a
young leader! There are so many different
opportunities to help work with the girls in our
community, to gain great experience of
leadership, travel and learn. There is so much on
offer and it’s incredibly rewarding regardless of
what role you undertake to be such an essential
cog in the running of our Guide and Brownie
Packs locally. See https://www.girlguiding.org.

Evening WI
Our popular Craft Fair will be on Saturday 26th
October at 2pm in the Village Hall, so maybe a
good time to start your Christmas shopping! As
usual there will be a WI Cake stall and home
made refreshments on sale so why not pop in
and have a look around and enjoy a slice of
cake! Entry is free.
Although we don’t meet officially in August,
over 20 of us enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea,
generously hosted by one of our members in her

garden. We were fortunate that the sun shone
which added to the enjoyment and money was
raised to support Denman, the WI’s education
college. Also in August, we Chomped and
Chattered at Zaza in Old Amersham.
September brought us back after the summer
break and we saw some wonderful Wildlife
Photography when Tom Way visited. In October
we hold our Annual Meeting when a new
committee is chosen and our speaker, Jacqueline
Aviolet, speaks of Four Days at the Nursery. In
November we focus on Christmas Crafts &
Recipes
The WI is here to inspire women of all ages
and provides fun and friendship, plus the chance
to learn new skills, get involved within the
community and take part in a wide range of
activities. We would like to invite you to a
complimentary visit to one of our meetings on
the second Thursday of the month at 8pm in the
Village Hall. You are always welcome and we’d
be delighted to see you. Pat Hedley, 812645, email:

Morning WI
We had an excellent attendance for our August
coffee morning; as we do not have an actual
meeting in August. Unfortunately, we have had
to cancel our visit to Waterperry Gardens due to
lack of numbers and members taking later
holidays. We will try again next year.
Our September speaker was a Lady
Toastmaster., with lots of tales to tell and an
insight into her life.
