Things are coming together for the Carnival Stall.

If your baking cakes then please drop them to The Green in the Avenue ideally sometime between 10.30 and 12.00.  The Carnival begins at 12.30.  The theme is the Queens Birthday so if your helping on the stall why not dress in red, white and blue.

Subscriptions
As Kit mentioned at the last meeting we have capped membership at 50 people. We feel this is the appropriate number to fit comfortably into the hall and to get the most from the activities that are provided each month.  We will keep a waiting list for anyone wishing to join once the limit is reached –  We are very close to that.

Hampton Carnival – June 11th

 

 

The annual Hampton Carnival takes place on June 11th on the green in The Avenue. The WI will run a stall selling the usual cakes and jams. We are leaving crafts for Christmas when they sell better.  The theme is the Queens 90th Birthday our  Knit and Stitch ladies have been knitting and crocheting red, white and blue bunting to decorate our stall.

 

 

For fun we challenge you to create a Bra-skets to display at the carnival so we can ask the public to vote for their favourite which we will put forward to the competition.

3rd September – Dunkirk Little Ships

Last year some of our members helped prepare and serve tea to the veterans and naval ratings at this annual event.  We did such a good job we have been asked to do it again, so please let Kit know if you can help.

 

And for those who did help last year they have a little thank you for us; except we didn’t keep a list so if you came and lent a hand then please can you contact Kit.  We know the following members were there

Liz Neilson, Jacqui, Aimee, Glenys, Lesley, Kit, and Gwen but we are sure we have missed a couple so please let us know so you don’t miss out on our special treat
