There are some great courses on tap for the coming year!
There are some really exciting events coming up, both Crowlas & Ludgvan WI and County events.
First of all is our Jubilee Garden Party on Tuesday 5th June (12-5pm). Julia and her husband are generously hosting the party and it should be great fun. Julia will be preparing a couple of big joints of meat and a vegetarian dish and will also provide drinks. We’re asking people to bring a sweet or savoury dish, and to pay £3.50 to cover Julia’s costs. Weather permitting, we’ll play some croquet or boules and just have a lovely time. Please dress in red, white and blue! And wear a hat! (Directions to Julia’s house can be found here.)
There are also some really good County events coming up:
On Wednesday 8th August, there’s a trip to see As You Like It at the Minack Theatre. Tickets are £24, which includes coach travel. (Closing date is 22 June.)
Do you fancy having a go at fly fishing? One of our members is interested, but doesn’t want to go on her own – so if it sounds like something you’d enjoy, please do sign up at our next meeting. The nearest location to us is Stithians Lake on 14th July (closing date is 15th June) and it only costs £3!
Or what about croquet? There’s a Croquet Taster Day at Porthpean Croquet Club on Friday 22nd June. Three of our ladies have already signed up, so if you’d like to join the group, please put your name down. The closing date for this event is before our May meeting, however, so if you’d like to go please send your cheque (made payable to Crowlas & Ludvan WI) for £13 directly to Helen by the 17th May.
And lots more! If you don’t want to wait until our May meeting to see the new issue of County News, you can always view it online to see what’s on and decide what you’d like to put your name down for. There will be sign-up sheets for the above events, and others, at the May meeting.
For those of you who missed our April meeting, I thought I’d share a look at our beautiful new pennant. It’ll be hanging on the W.I. marquee at the Royal Cornwall Show next month, along with pennants from W.I.s all over the county.
I won’t name the names of the talented ladies who had a hand in producing the pennant, because I’m sure I’d make a mistake and leave someone out. But you know who you are and you should be very proud of yourselves!
Make sure you come to the Show on June 7th-9th and have a look at all the W.I. pennants. It should be a wonderful sight!
We all bid adieu to longstanding member, Maureen Fordham, with a splendid lunch at Pat Gloyn’s house.
After filling our plates (and then going back for seconds … and thirds?), Gill Gowland presented Maureen with garden vouchers – we hope she’ll buy something lovely to plant in her new garden.
Maureen then presented Gill with her bell which I’m sure will get a lot of use at our monthly meetings!
We’ll all miss Maureen as she’s been a good friend and an invaluable members of our W.I. Best of luck in your new home, Maureen!
