Tuesday walk

 It was a glorious day for a stroll along the harbour and a lovely cup of coffee at the Breakwater Bistro. 

Sew Mondays

 Sew Mondays - our next meeting is on Monday 26th September.

This group was set up because we were given a great deal of fabric and sewing notions and we wished to put them all to good use. We meet at a member’s house (Jill Haslam) always on a Monday, and a date suggested by our kind host. All Brixham WI members are welcome, regardless of your sewing experience or skill. We decide on the day what we will do - sometimes our own project and other times we all make something suggested by one of the members. Virginia ran a day workshop for us in the Spring. If you would like to come along, please let me know - I will have a list for you to sign at our Institute meeting on Wednesday, or you can email brixhamwi@gmail.com. If there are more than 8 people, we will organise a second session.

What’s on this week?

 For our Brixham WI members this week we have:

Tuesday: 10.30 walk. Meet at the Man and Boy statue

Wednesday: 2pm Institute meeting - please remember your badge, mug and a single flower from your garden.

Thursday: visit to the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Park at the Cricket club from 9.30 am

Friday: 10.30 coffee at the Berry Head Hotel

Denman at Home courses

 There is a fantastic range of courses available at Denman at Home - available to everyone, not just our paid up WI members this time! https://www.denman.org.uk/at-home/ Here is something completely different….

 

The WI (National Federation of Women's Institutes)

1h  · 

Our 190,000 members across England, Wales and the islands will know that today is WI Day, the anniversary of when our organisation was formed.

The WI is 107 today.

Ordinarily, this would be a day of celebration but in respect for HM Queen Elizabeth II, a much-loved monarch and WI member, we will not be holding our usual celebrations.

However, we did want to acknowledge the date and to thank all our wonderful members, past and present, for making this the extraordinary organisation all that it is.

Thank you…you are all inspiring women.
