WE started 2016 with a good excuse to get dressed up and brighten a rather wet and windy January evening and enjoy our Christmas meal. Once again this took place at Evesham Golf Club, where we received a warm welcome and very good service from the staff, not to mention an excellent three course meal. Along with a raffle, there was also a draw for bursaries to send three members to Denman College to take part in courses of their choice. We also voted on the choice of this years WI Resolution. A good night was had by all, and a great introduction to the new year. It would appear that this is just the start of great things to come as we now have the exciting programme for 2016, which includes many interesting speakers, an evening garden party and a summer outing!!

Next meeting Tuesday, February 9 at 7.30pm in Cropthorne and Charlton Village Hall, our speaker will be Jenny Cheshire talking about Worcester Racecourse. the competition is "Winning Achievements."

If you are interested in joining or just want to come along to one or two meetings contact 01386 861966.
