Our next meeting is on Tuesday 18th November, 7pm at the The Axminster Guildhall. Our speaker is Rosemary Griggs a Devonian writer and researcher who will be introducing us to a "Tudor Christmas". Come along and see her wonderful costume (it may no be the one shown below) and listen to an interesting talk on how the Tudors celebrated.

We're not all about Jam and Jerusalem, not all of us bake cakes, some are good at crafts others are good at organising. Everyone in our friendly group brings something to each meeting but more importantly friendship, belonging and a lot of laughs.
We welcome younger ladies and young at heart, in act all are welcome. Are Nosh and Natters are an important part of our identity as you can see from our recent outing to the Golden House Chinese.

What a display. Our WI have been hard at it again putting out a new display in the Minster ready for Remembrance Day on Sunday.
There's also been a bit of weeding around the church so it's s***k and span for the day.

You could be part of our wonderful group and join us at our next meeting. Details to follow.

At our last meeting we were very lucky to have the talented Jackie Darche give us a demonstration on using charity shop finds and household items along with a couple of bunches of supermarket flowers. She made 7 displays from scratch. She made it look very easy. Some of us even took one home.

Why don't you come along to our September meeting and meet a fabulous bunch of ladies who will look forward to welcoming you.

Sorry gentleman but his is only for the ladies!!!

Our next meeting is Tuesday 16th September, 7pm at the The Axminster Guildhall when our speaker is Ashley Jones who will be enthralling us with "The Story of David Niven". Ashley is an excellant speaker and gave a very interesting talk to us on Douglas Bader last year. So do not miss this one.

David Niven was a British actor, soldier, memoirist, and novelist. He was known as a handsome and debonair leading man in Classic Hollywood films. He received an Academy Award and numerous other accolades in his lifetime, but his life journey was anything but smooth. After a troubled childhood, he encountered many setbacks before finding his calling as a screen actor, but his flourishing career was almost ended by World War 2. In this enrichment lecture, we learn about Niven's path to success, as how even 40 years after his death in 1983, he is still regarded as the ultimate chap!

New ladies are always welcome as are visitors. A nominal £5 is charged or the speaker and refreshments.
