EPPERSTONE WI
Our President, Susan Hannington, opened the June meeting by giving a brief overview of the National WI AGM which she recently attended in Bournemouth. Both resolutions were passed, and the speaker,
Maggie Philbin, was excellent. Susan noticed a growing number of young delegates from newly formed WIs sporting vibrant hair colour and tattoos – the image of the WI is certainly changing! We will
hear her full report at a later date.
We welcomed 10 members from Burton Joyce WI who came to join us for a session of Walking Netball. Andrea Walker, who plays netball for Southwell, explained the rules, and began by taking us through
some warm-up exercises. Walking netball is for everyone and you really don’t need to be super-fit to play. We formed 3 teams and had 2 games each with Andrea acting as referee. She had a tough job on
her hands, having to deal with some flouting of the rules, barging and intimidation – who would have thought it?
Diane Frudd thanked Andrea for giving us some much needed fun and invigorating exercise to cheer us up on a day of non-stop torrential rain.
Our next meeting is on Tuesday 9 July at 7.30pm in the Village Hall. The speaker, Nancy Appleyard, will explain “What Everybody is Saying” (messages in body language).
Visitors are very welcome.
