Thorpe Show

Congratulations to Sybil for not only winning the 'craft' category of the show but also winning 'Best in Show' - a well-deserved and very popular result.  The WI craft stall proved a great success as well - thanks to all members who supported the stall both on the day and making produce beforehand.

September Meeting

Last night we were highly entertained by the lovely Milly Johnson - author and "Come Dine With Me " star.  She is (as you would expect) a fabulous story teller and kept us amused and chuckling all evening.  We could have listened to her all evening and its great to see that she is still a proper Barnsley Lass at heart. ( I loved your frock too Milly). 

 She brought a selection of her books along to talk about, and when I got home I discovered I already had a few of these on my "to read" pile - I shall have to get stuck in!

 We had on sale a few of the bags etc that we have been making at our craft evenings.  The rest will be on sale at the village fair on the 15th September.  I think £6 is a fabulous price - bargain!!

 And one or two comments about the number of birthdays this month led Jill to explain that we September birthdays are in fact as a direct result of our parents enjoying Christmas a bit too much!!!  There's always one who lowers the tone!

Olympic Torch visits Thorpe Hesley

WI members Jayne, Pauline, Brenda and Cynthia enjoyed the opportunity of holding an official Olympic torch when it visited the Trinity Centre as part of Thorpe Hesleys Olympic Celebrations.

Album of Leisure Activities

Collecting photos of members participating in their favourite leisure activities proved to be great fun for all.  The album proved what an 'active' WI group we are and was enjoyed by members at the July meeting.
