⚠️WE NEED YOUR ⚠️

We're carrying a lot of vacancies atm, and it's causing quite the burden on the committee - who already give up a lot of their time and energy. If you can volunteer, please consider helping out YOUR WI β™₯️

Hall Fundraising Officer - Our hall needs some serious attention, but we need someone to manage our applications & contractors. No knowledge is required, I promise! We've been asking for a year now, come on, someone must be able to help us?!

Social Secretary - After July we have no more socials planned, and you might also have noticed a reduction in Avon news too since Kathy stood down. This is a fun post. You don't even necessarily need to think of events - we have a list ready to go if required πŸ˜‰

Living History Subgroup - we desperately need someone to keep a scrapbook. That's it. We have very little in the way of paperwork so I doubt this will be an onerous task. You do NOT even need to join the committee for this role.

Phonebox Subgroup - we really need more hands on deck to help utilise the phonebox. The hardwork is done. This is the good bit - what and how do we use it! Again, you won't need to join the committee.

πŸ₯° "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much" πŸ₯°

Who's coming to help us TODAY to put some bunting up in the car park?!
Life is always better with a bit of bunting.

Anyway, the current plan is we'll meet about 10:30am at Backwell WI Hall . It's meant to be gorgeous weather, and shouldn't take too long.

Come help us 🫡🏽

What a night!

We hope you enjoyed Sarah's Sess this evening, and managed to speak to new people. We're hoping to take this forward every quarter.

Resolution-wise, Marie has confirmed that both were strongly supported and we will submit that to our link delegate.

However, the star of the night was Rosie with her amazing advice - remember no squirrel wees, moo to poo, and switch your buttocks off - we hope you found it an informative evening πŸ‘
