At our meeting on Thursday 8 September our speaker was Peter Bryant, the Gloucestershire Federation WI County Secretary, who spoke about his career in the RAF and as the General Manager of the Royal Pigeon Racing Association. He has since worked for 6 years as the only man amongst a team of women at the Gloucestershire Federation WI Office. Our next meeting is on Thursday 13 October at 7.30 pm in the Moreton WI Hall, when the speaker will be Steve Bruce who will talk to us about ’Stories from the Auction Room’. We would be very pleased to welcome new members, and those already on our waiting list, to join us from January 2017 when we move to a larger venue. Please contact Jo on 01608 650821 for further information.
