For our annual Christmas meal outing we return this year to Merits Training Restaurant at Richmond upon Thames College. Click the link to take you to the Christmas menu.

At £18.00 for three courses plus tea/coffee to finish it represents a great value night out. We have reserved 25 places on Tuesday 5th December, time 18:30, venue Merits Restaurant Richmond upon Thames College.

First come first served I’m afraid, so bring your cash/cheques to Tuesday’s meeting or make an internet payment to Hampton WI, Sort Code 77-30-24, a/c 85829668 please put ‘Xmas’ and your name as a reference. Thank you.

Our October meeting will be taking us deep into the fascinating world of the film and theatrical industries.  Jane L’Epine Smith, a Casting Director and Producer, will be giving us some interesting insights into this exciting and challenging world and the roles of the, often forgotten, off screen and set organisers. With Jane’s pedigree (try googling her dad, Eric L’Epine Smith) and a life time of personal experience I’m sure we can expect an entertaining evening. As well as giving talks Jane still keeps her hand in devising and producing works with local drama groups such the Richmond Shakespeare Company.

Plus the usual tea, cake, raffle and fun company. All in all a good evening out!!!

Please remember our November evening starts with our annual AGM. This will be followed by birthday cake and musical entertainment – make sure the date, November 14th, is in your diaries!

SPELTHORNE GROUP ANNUAL MEETING

You will all remember that at the Summer Soiree Gerri from Middlesex Federation reminded us that we were all eligible to enter the Spelthorne Group Hat making competition. Entries need to be brought with you tomorrow night. Each WI may enter three hats so in the event of there being more than three entries we will have a vote. I look forward to seeing your creations.

The hats must be home made and not shop brought hats which are then decorated.

The hats can be made from any media, such as embroidered, felt, knitted, painted, paper etc
