At last month’s meeting we held our Annual General Meeting with almost a full turnout. Members enjoyed cheese and wine and a fascinating talk by Freda Laverick, the Chairman of the Durham Federation of Women’s Institutes. Anne Brown was unanimously re-elected as this year’s Aycliffe Village WI President.
Some members visited St. Clare’s Court Care Home and helped with pancake making and enjoyed events for Red Nose Day with the residents.
We’ve had two popular book club meetings and reviewed two very different books that are supplied thanks to Durham Library Service.
Our next meeting is on Wednesday 27th March in the Village Hall at 7pm. Our speaker will be Mike Thornton talking about The Test of Time, which is a new book about Norman Cornish, his life and work, historical moments and anecdotes. It will undoubtedly be a fascinating evening.
Refreshments will be provided. Non members and visitors are very welcome to join us. Anyone who would like to join our WI, please contact Anne Brown via email: aycliffevillageWI@durhamwi.co.uk
