WHY JEVINGTON & FILCHING W.I.?

We

Offer you more than you can imagine with

Many hours of creative fun and

Education from the experts with

National and international knowledge.

Special consideration for the individual,

In fact we go out of our way to welcome you

Not forgetting refreshments when

Speakers have finished talking to us.

Then we relax and decide on the next

Interesting and informative outing.

Total satisfaction with the details prevents

Unexpected problems later.

The themes for our meetings are, we hope,

Entertaining and enjoyable for all.

Chapter 1.  A lovely thought..     

The winning shoebox in the 2007 County Competition now has a new role. It has rejected most of its original contents but retained its decorations and photographs and is full of gifts travelling 6,300 miles to Helmand Province in Afghanistan. The little box accompanied by 3 table loads of treats for British troops was handed over to "Thank the Forces" representative Sue Smith at the Feb 2008 meeting.

Chapter 2.   News from home ?            

 We now have a new pen pal.    He is Sgt Matt Powell who was delighted to receive the box of gifts and wrote,  " The boys were talking about what you get up to at the WI and we would all like to hear a bit more about it".

Chapter 3.  Iron rations?... Not from this WI.       Following further correspondence 16 home-baked cakes have been sent,  which will be judged by the troops.          Members wait with baited breath! 

  Chapter 4.   And the Cake Competition Results are.......

1st    Sue's Lemon drizzle cake.

2nd   Valerie's Swedish apple cake.

3rd   Mary's Rich frit cake with nut topping.

Everyone thought the Desert Cake Judging Competion was a great success.
