Cake!

 Last week, I was feeling so proud of our lovely meeting, I posted a photo of the splendid cake made for us by Virginia on the UWI FaceBook page. You can see that, as of today, 67 people have ’liked’ it, and several kind comments have been added!

We all liked it very much, too!

A message from Jayne for everyone who came to our meeting this month:

 Two things from Wednesday’s meeting.

First, who recognises the plate left behind? Problem solved! The owner has been found!
Secondly someone came to me with 3 things; a speaker recommendation (booked) a choir (asked at the meeting) and missing emails. Apologies but I can’t remember who’s not getting WI email. If it’s you could you please let me know?
My BT email address is inaccessible, so use the other one, or the official WI email

Book Worms - from Rebecca

 Yesterday bookworms met and discussed a book by mark billingham. I won’t put the title as Facebook won’t allow it but it was “The M*****” book” we all found it very forgettable and couldn’t get into the relationship shop between the characters and get you needed to have read other books in the series. Not one we’ll be recommending! Other books read this month include “little” by Edward Carey, “Damaged” by Cathy Glass, all Heather Morris’s book, “ Inheritance” by Nora Robert’s and “ A walk across the sun” by Corbin Addison.

We also discussed Christmas, good places to eat, scammers and tv programmes “Vigil” and “ Hidden Assets” then a wonderful time at the WI meeting afterwards!!

 

CALLING ALL BRIXHAM WI MEMBERS WHO LOVE A PANTO! 
Have you paid your £15 to our bank account yet? Please do it now if you wish to come with us! 

Sunday 7th January, 2 until 4.15pm at the Palace Theatre in Paignton.
Oh yes we have!

Brixham WI does Christmas!


Well, what can I say after this afternoon? 🤔
Brixham WI knows how to have a good party! Lots of fun, lots of delicious food, lots of really excellent company, friends from three of our neighbour WIs ….. delightful flowers to decorate our tables, a truly magnificent Christmas Cake, pretty gifts grown, prepared, sewn and beautifully wrapped by our members and some brain teasing quizzes! A nifty Bucks Fizz to keep us going before a very welcome cup of tea! The raffle gifts were beautifully wrapped and presented - and we managed a heartfelt rendition of Jerusalem to start and ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ to finish. Wow! It has been a marvellous way to spend the year with you all, Brixham WI friends. Shall we do it all again next year? Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
