 To those of you who know Norma - she is in Torbay hospital and has pneumonia. You can send her a message via this link, which will be printed and given to her, to cheer her up a bit. https://www.torbayandsouthdevon.nhs.uk/sending-love/

50th Birthday mugs!

 A huge thank you to Ann Parker for her logo design and to Mary Hall for planning and sourcing the actual mugs, and transferring Ann’s logo! 

There is a mug for every member, they will be available at the next meeting if you haven’t received yours.

Birthday party preparations and the day itself!

 Some of our committee members got together to wrap the Brixham WI 50th birthday mugs for all of our members.

They had a great time!

‘That’s a wrap’ as they say!

The room was carefully decorated and set up, ready for our members and guests from our fellow group WIs, from DFWI and one previous President, Pat, who kindly cut the cake.

Thank you so much for a lovely meeting with a clever magician, beautiful cake and to finish it off a gorgeous present. Really lovely afternoon thank you all and especially Mary Hall for finding such a lovely mug. 

We decorated and celebrated. Ladies wore gold, cakes were cut, tea was drunk, card tricks performed, and all the lovely extra things that went on.

Well done Jayne for the first meeting as our new president - lovely afternoon - the cake not only looked brilliant it tasted wonderful too. Also thanks to the committee for putting in so much effort to make it a success 

Happy 50th Birthday!
