Meetings & Events – 2000
Nineteen members of the WI attended the Annual General Meeting, which reported a successful year. The meeting was followed by a harvest supper, which was enjoyed by all.
We were pleased to welcome VCO Pam Farrington to the meeting.
Doreen England won the cup for the most points for competitions over the year, and Jenny Saunders won the cup for winning the most “flowers of the month” competitions.
Members of the WI crowded into the kitchen of the Reading Room on Wednesday, 8 November 2000 for a cookery demonstration by Margaret Reardon, assisted by Jan Harrold.
Tasters for those present included mulled red wine, canapés, pumpkin soup, pork stir fry and home-made truffles. In spite of the vagaries of one of the ovens, Margaret also demonstrated salmon and cucumber quiche and peach and marzipan tart, which made for delectable raffle prizes.
(A quick tip for all those weight watchers. Margaret suggested making and slightly cooling a non-calorie jelly, then mixing in a Müller Light yoghurt. This makes the equivalent of three Müller Light containers , at ½ point each).
