Let’s talk about incontinence

…..came in a very close second during our vote today (including those members who kindly let me have their votes this afternoon on the WhatsApp group. 

Pat has kindly given us some very pertinent and useful information for anyone interested: the ‘just can’t wait’ card is to use when necessary when out in town, for example. Shops will allow the holder to use their facilities. 

The resolution which received the most votes was Bystanders can be lifesavers. Our votes will be sent to DFWI, who will collate and send a response from the whole of Devon WIs to NFWI. 

Resolution 1  15 votes - incontinence

Resolution  2  21 votes - lifesavers

Resolution  3   0 votes - repairs

Resolution  4   4 votes - medication packaging

Panto!

 A splendid time was had by all at the pantomime in Paignton this afternoon! An excellent entertainment, much enjoyed with plenty of laughs, shouting, singing and applauding! Thank you to Lynn for organising everything for us! Also to our drivers for taking us! 

Next time let’s all wear a tiara and really enter into the spirit! 

Reading Enthusiasts look here!

 In the library this afternoon for the drumming workshop, I couldn't help but notice the display of childrens’ books! Instantly, that excitement of seeing all of those enticing stories, that I always felt as a child in the library, came back to me!

Then I saw this post on Brixham Library’s Facebook page! Just in case anyone else feels the same!

I’m not sure whether the donation can be made in real life over the desk in the library - I shall find out!

Incidentally, the drumming workshop was wonderful!

Wednesday 15th January 2025

 Our January Institute meeting, next Wednesday at 2pm at the Cricket Club will be the occasion for us to discuss and choose which resolution to vote for. If you wish to continue donating to the Yes Brixham food bank, please bring it along. (Also your flower, mug, name badge)

This is your own, personal, individual vote according to your own choice.

We count the votes and return the results to DFWI, who then pass the votes for Devon on to NFWI. The resolution chosen by the majority will be debated at the NFWI Annual Meeting on 4th June.

The four resolutions are listed in the November/December issue of WI Life magazine, as well as on MyWI and our blog.
