The W.I. ~ Inspiring Women

Picture

GOODWORTH CLATFORD W.I.


Our March evening meeting turned out differently to how we had expected due to our speaker having to cancel because of Covid infection.  So we heard from our committee about the planning of future events.  Jenny Callard gave us a short informative talk on BOAZ where she has been a volunteer for many years.  BOAZ is a charity which teaches skills to adults with learning difficulties near Wherwell.  It is our designated charity for this year. After this we had plenty time spent leisurely sitting around tables chatting and enjoying each other’s company, with tea, cake and biscuits, and doing simple jigsaw puzzles.   Our members agreed that it was good to just sit and have time to chat.  (Our speaker on the subject of Claude Monet has been rebooked for later in the year).
 
Recently a group of us spent at day at the Hillier Gardens.  We had coffee on arrival, then a leisurely walk around the beautiful grounds, and the magnolias were looking wonderful.  This was followed by a welcome lunch.  Our next walk will be from the village club to Harewood Forest, and we hope the bluebells will all be in full bloom.  How lucky we are to have such beauty on our doorstep.
 
Our “at home” coffee mornings are continuing to be popular.  Different members volunteer to host a coffee morning for members in their own home the first Thursday of each month.  It’s a great way of chatting and keeping in touch.  
 
The committee are planning more events and the possibility of having some craft workshops.
 
Our book club have recently read “The Sealwoman’s Gift” by Sally Magnusson, a story based on fact, of slavery in the 15thcentury. There was much to discuss, and it was enjoyed. They have also read “Northanger Abbey,” a modern novel by Val McDermid, and gave it mixed reviews. Another book they read and liked was “The Go-Between” by LP Hartley.
  
Our next evening meeting will be on Tuesday 17th May which is our AGM, accompanied by welcoming wine and nibbles. Much will be discussed, and we’ll also have time to socialise with one another.
 
For any further information please contact either Julia Love (President) 01264 749967 or Jan Walker (Secretary) 01264 356286.

Goodworth Clatford W.I. Chat Book

Picture
Goodworth Clatford WI Chat Book is a unique volume. Over the years nearly every member has written a few lines about themselves which have been gathered together into one volume, often with a photograph. As our centenary is fast approaching this is a very important record of us and our village history.
