February’s Institute meeting

 

What a beautiful blanket, created by the craft afternoon members in September. Since then, Elly, Mary C and Barbara have been very busy sewing it all together. Beryl knitted all of the border, using wool donated to us by Margery! What a marvellous all round joint effort! Mary is going to give it to a local charity for the homeless. 

We had a very interesting and informative talk about how to use the internet safely. We all learnt a lot! Also! If anyone has specific, individual IT queries, there is a service available at our library. It is possible to book some time with one of their IT buddies, who will be able to help. 

Plans for workshops, events and our 50th birthday were discussed, as well as information about the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. We are going to do another fashion show - 1950s this time! 

Look at the side bar of this blog page, where you will see all of the dates for events which are already organised.

Everyone was given their 50 activities in our 50th year sheets to take away and fill in throughout the year! We are hoping that our members will enter into the spirit of the idea and join in - so that in December we can look back to see just how much we have all done together!
