Bulkington WI held their Annual Business Meeting this week and members also voted on the Resolutions for the NFWI Annual meeting. Secretary Christine gave the Committee report on our activities throughout the year, Rosie the Treasurer gave the Financial report and President Jo summed up our year and thanked the Committee and all those who helped in various ways. Retiring Vice-President Margaret thanked Jo for her hard work and presented her with a flowering plant. Margaret herself was presented with a plant to thank her for her service. Coincidentally, both Jo and Margaret are celebrating "big" birthdays this month and were serenaded with a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday to You." Later, a beautiful cake was shared out to all the members present.
Several of the Committee are changing posts this year including Rosie becoming Vice-President and Rachel taking over from Christine as Secretary. President Jo was elected unanimously to serve another term.
Various bye-laws were voted on and passed and the business part of the meeting concluded.
After refreshments (and birthday cake) Gwyneth took the members through the resolutions, firstly on providing accessible public toilets and secondly on action on women's homelessness. Both were passed unanimously and the votes will be taken by our delegate to the on-line NFWI Annual Meeting.
After this very busy meeting, President Jo thanked everyone for their attendance and wished everyone safe journey home.

At Bulkington WI's March meeting, President Jo presented a cheque for £100 to Liz Hancock, Chief Executive of Mary Ann Evans Hospice our charity for 2025.
The speaker was Philip Yorke, an investigative journalist who gave an insight into the investigations into corrupt practices particularly in the sports industries. Members were fascinated to hear about how these crimes were brought to light.
To mark Word Book Day, books were sold on a buy one get one free basis.

We had a super meeting this month when Bulkington WI celebrated their 91st birthday. We enjoyed a delicious buffet provided by the committee and a hilarious pantomime "Sleeping Beauty" by the Bulkington Belles Choir. We also celebrated the birthday of choir hostess Bernice (aka Fairy Maleficent!). An enjoyable evening was had by all.

It is with regret that the committee have decided to cancel this Thursday’s meeting. The weather forecast is looking bad and we do not wish to put our members at risk. We hope to welcome the Lifeboat speakers at a later date.
The voting for the resolutions will now take place at the February meeting.
So sorry everyone but our safety is our primary concern.

This year's Christmas party certainly went with a swing. Here are
Ann and Stella celebrating the super buffet provided by the members. Singer Aimee entertained us with Christmas songs and got us up dancing to some old favourites. A total of 9 bags of food and goodies were collected for the Food Bank. All in all a great night proving that Bulkington WI is a wonderful group!
