FOR our September meeting, instead of a speaker we invited membersto share with us some of their memories and they rose to the occasion and we spent an interesting evening with reminscences.

Duringthe business sessionwe had the chance to put names forward for the carol service on December 8 in Worcester Cathedral and for our November visit to Anna Mead.

Our annual dinner will be on January 15, 2014, and members were asked to choose their menus. Jenny was selling the county raffle tickets with proceeds going to the breast care unit. Everyone who went on our outing to Attingham Park inJulyhadalovelytime– itwas such an interesting place to visit. Jenny attended a craft evening at Finstall Cross WI where she hadmadesome lovely Christmas holly and roses using gelatine.

The Bromsgrove group are exhibiting in the library in November and Ann has a collection of photographs and certificates from various town events – Elizabethan markets, carnivals and our own WI events, so they should show that Sidemoor has had a hand in many attractions down the years.

Our next meeting will be on October 16 at Willow Court and we will be having a taste of Worcestershire cookery demonstration with Shirley Cadman.

Newmembers are always welcome. For more details, contact Jenny on 01527 831692.
