15/3/2017 0 Comments Happy Birthday to.. Us!We know, we know.. we've been slow on the blog again. Who was it who said, " only good girls keep diaries, because bad girls don't have the time?"! We're not that naughty (honestly) but we have been busy again! After Christmas we had some lovely feedback from our guests, who really enjoyed themselves - as did we! And our January meeting was more about recharging, catching up, playing some games and chatting briefly about our 2017 plans, although our 'WI year' doesn't really start until February when we've had the elections and our birthday! The Coffee Club dates have been set for the year, and plans are afoot for two fundraisers, our Spring and Autumn Fayres in May and September respectively. The Notts County Show competition categories are now set too, so if you fancy baking or crafting an entry on behalf of BVWI, let Brenda know so we make sure we have enough time to register! February saw our 11th birthday and WI Advisor Helen Forrester joined us to oversee the elections for our new President this year. There are a number of changes this year, and the final committee list is on the website. Julie has decided to step down from the committee and BVWI, and we can only offer heartfelt thanks for her support and dedication over the years. Eileen also decided to take a backseat, and while remaining on the committee will not be taking minutes/VP, and Sue also stepped down from committee but more than likely may still pester you for a raffle ticket... Unanimously Brenda was chosen as President again (what can we say, she's doing great things!) but did encourage everyone to consider coming along to a committee meeting and get involved. There will come a day when she decides she's done enough! Brenda also read the Annual Review, and it's only when hearing it all read out that we realise what we've accomplished this year. We've not been short of activities, fundraisers, outings and crafts and have some exciting ideas in the pipeline as we start another great WI Year! But it's not just about what the Committee decides - it's also up to YOU! Suggestions and ideas are always welcome for events, outings, speakers, activities and general support, so if you have a great idea, tell us!
