November, for our December meeting we ran a
quiz. Although I could not zoom in, by all
accounts it went well. Our President and
secretary took the trouble to send all members a
Christmas card enclosing a poem or 'ode to
Christmas'. This thought was much appreciated.
At the start of January we had a zoom chat for
an hour in the afternoon for all members. I
always marvel at how ladies can chat so easily
for an hour and never run out of things to say!
Tom Way, now such a familiar face to WI
members, is giving us a talk in our homes in
January. You may be interested to know that our
President was the first to offer Tom the chance
of giving a talk and I knew him long before that
as my daughter was into photography and had
worked with him. What a lot of water has gone
under the bridge since then.
Hopefully at our committee meeting
tomorrow we shall come up with some ideas for
future meetings and maybe by the next edition
many of us will have had our first vaccination.
Who would ever have thought last February
that this Covid would last a year++? Look after
yourselves and keep busy. Sheila Sparrow

Hazlemere Gardening Association
It only seems a few weeks ago that we closed
for the winter break and now we're looking
forward to a new gardening year. Sadly the new
variants of Covid have proved more contagious
and led to the current National lockdown.
Although Garden Centres are allowed to trade,
we are not prepared to risk opening in the
customary manner until the situation has greatly
improved.
Regrettably we have taken the decision to
cancel our Spring show, planned for Saturday
17th April 2021. Dependent on the situation
improving, we hope to be able to run planned
trips and other events later in the year.
The good news is, we do intend to operate our
order and collection system following its
previous success. However to make this safer
for the committee and members alike, our
opening may be delayed a few weeks until the
end of February. This will, hopefully, enable a
significant proportion of our members and the
committee to receive their vaccinations and
have some level of immunity.
A final decision will be made at the end of
January, when an email will be sent advising of
our opening date, membership renewal system
and how and when to submit your orders.
Regrettably we have had to cancel our order
