Lytham Green WI

We've had our first meeting this month and also our Annual Meeting. Quiet meeting, hopefully more members will come next month. However, it was nice to feel things are slowly getting back to normal.

What a lovely day at Lytham hall. It was just great seeing ladies again and catching up with their news. Scones yummy too. Now looking forward to first real meeting in October.

Looking forward to scones and tea in September with all our ladies. The first time many of us will have seen and chatted to each other.

So true.

Lovely day last week meeting up outside with some friendly faces. Thank goodness the weather was kind.

Members gave been invited to pay their subscriptions next week. Hope we can get a meeting arranged later this year.

Clocks gone forward and days will be longer for us to enjoy the bright, cheerful daffodils. Hoping to soon get my appointment for my second Pfizer jab. Hope all our ladies are soon fully immunized and then maybe we can begin to think about getting together again. Keep well.

@LythamHall Great news. Visits to the hall have been much missed.

More Beautiful pictures of this years Snowdrops here at the Blackpool Gazette link. Not long til we re-open on the 12th April!

Hope many ladies have received the first of their vaccine jabs. Hopefully, we shall soon be out of this stressful situation. Keep safe and well.

At Christmas all of our members received a handmade make up bag full of goodies including the materials to make a fabric brooch. Instigated by our President @margaretjeffre1 and really appreciated by everyone. Well done to Marjorie on completing your brooch.

Posted the last of my newsletter for October to ladies for whom I don't have an email address. All others sent by email. Received some lovely complimentary comments. Picture of plants and pumpkins at Lytham Hall.

A lovely view of Witchwood. Very mood uplifting.

Have sent a chatty message to our members by email. Ladies without email addresses will be contacted by phone. Had some lovely replies. Our president is busy on a secret project!

Still deep in pandemic. When will it ever end? Anyway, still managing to see some other WI ladies who are keeping well.

Yet another lock down today 18th September. Will we ever get a meeting off the ground? Anyway, it's good to hear that some members are getting together in small groups and so keeping in contact.

Whoops, should have also said the date was 16th September.

This is the date in 1915 when the first WI meeting took place. Things have come on apace since then!

Still unable to hold a meeting. Committee have got together but are still stuck on how to have a get together. Will not be bowed & will keep striving for a solution. Take care

Cleaned every cupboard & helped with home tutoring our granddaughter - fun but challenging. Recent good weather certainly helped in the lockdown situation. Missing personal contact with our members, but use has been made of telephone and email. Family all keeping well.

Strange not seeing each other, particularly at the President's house where the committee meet and enjoy arranging future activities. Speaker at last meeting related life of a local suffregette, what a feisty woman. Take care and keep safe.
