Next Meeting Tuesday

Welcome back after the summer break I hope you all had a good one.

This month Lesley and Kit will be demonstrating some fun kitchen science. It will be relaxed evening with plenty of time to chat, compare tans and catch up.

I wont be at the meeting as I am at Denman college for the week learning to sewing a vintage frock but hope to be able to keep you up to date with my experience by posting my news and progress here each day. At the October meeting I will either wear the dress or bring a bag of rags for recycling – depending on my success.

Change of programme. Unfortunately our flower demonstrator is unable to make the October meeting as she has been called for jury service and wont have the time during the day to prepare the evening, Instead we have a lovely member and professional milliner from Teddington WI to demonstrate and let us have a go at making a Fascinator

Flower arranging will be rescheduled for next year

Enjoy the meeting

Dunkirk Little Ships Veterans Cruise – Help needed

We are asking for volunteers to help we with The Association of Dunkirk Little Ships Veterans Cruise event at Thames Motor Yacht Club on

Saturday 5th September.

Association of Dunkirk Little Ships

There’s a military band to be fed at 16:00 and the veterans at about 18:00.

Volunteers are needed between 13:00 and 20:00. We are hoping members will help with setting tables, prepping meal (eg cutting quiches, cooking new potatoes), clearing up. No tea/coffee serving (they get that from bar).

If you can volunteer for the whole time that would be amazing, or first half or second half. Many hands make light work, the more we have the sooner we will finish!

There is no parking at the club so please arrive by bus, park at Hampton Court Green pay and display car park, or ask a nice person to drop you off!!!!

Please let us know if you are able and willing to help with this event by emailing or calling Kit on kit.greenleaves@gmail.com

Summer break draws to an end

What better way to spend a wet Sunday than updating the Hampton WI website.

Lots of interesting events are sent to us many with cost reductions and special offers and if anyone would like to coordinate a specific trip then please shout up. We receive far more than I am able to post but I try to add those that I think will interest our members.

We manage some good trips out last year, to the Theatre, the knitting show and our walk around London gardens and it would be great to do some more. If you see a published event you might like to go to then please add a comment and see of others are interested too

To keep the site tidy and easy to navigate all events of interest can be seen in the Events tabs and all other information including details of Tuesday meetings and fundraising activities are in the News tab. I encourage you to look at the Events page as a few new ones have been added today.

Including

Due to this change you will see an increase in emails received from the site please let me know if the number you receive is too high and we can look at reducing the number of posts.

At time of posting we are only 17 days from our next meeting and we look forward to seeing you all again and hope you all had a good summer break
