Greystoke WI
Greystoke WI’s June meeting was a visit to Christine Davidson’s garden with a lunch at Hayton Farm Shop.
There will be no general meeting in July, but there will be a small fundraising event so that WI can buy a brick for the swimming pool. We invite members to attend an afternoon tea and silent auction at 2.00 pm on Thursday 18 July at Eileen Lund’s house. The tea will be free as we hope the auction will raise the funds. Please can members each bring an item to be auctioned.
In August, we invite all comers to an Open meeting with cheese and wine when the garden prizes will be awarded. John Maddison will give a slide show on Cumbrian Gardens. It will start at 7.00pm and there will be no set entry fee, although we ask you to make a donation.
Will all members please bring a grocery item to be packaged up to make hampers for the raffle. Members are also invited to bring an entry for the President’s challenge: Something made with wool.
If you would like to join WI please contact Hazel McGrath.
