It's a Wonderful World

There were plenty of entries in our Kingswear Cup competition, it must have been very difficult to decide which one you preferred! Well done all of the people who entered!

Congratulations indeed to Tina! 

More photos of the needle felting workshop - we had fun!

Today's needle felting workshop - first impressions!

Wow! We had a great time! As Sandy commented, mid morning, no-one would think this is the WI, we're so quiet!

It took a great deal of concentration! It was lots of fun and everyone made beautiful felted animals or toadstools, Bees and Christmas decorations. Thank you very much indeed to the lovely Sandy and to the 'Leg Lady' Mary, who also provided us with some gorgeous cakes! 

Lots of photos were taken, so I shall post them as soon as they reach me! 

Walking netball anyone?

It's happening very soon - first session next Thursday morning!

Yesterday morning Tina and I attended an IT course at The Firs, the DFWI office near Exeter. We found out about our new email address: brixham@devonwi.org.uk, which we will begin using immediately - or at least, quite soon! 

We also discovered that the WI website contains pages for each county and for each WI. The very useful thing for each of our internet friendly members is that you can have your own personal access to everything organised by Devon! 

Here is a screen shot of one of the Devon pages, to show you how to access it: 

Simply type thewi.org.uk into your internet browser, and when the website appears, look for the dark green 'search' box in the top right corner. Type in 'Devon', and then click on 'Devon' on the left hand side of the next page. 

You can see from the screen shot that I had clicked on the 'Latest news and Postings' box. 

This is excellent! You will always know what is available to you! 

Exciting trip on offer from DFWI

This was posted on The DFWI Facebook page today! It looks like a fabulous trip!

You can find more details by looking at the Devon pages of the WI website: thewi.org.uk
