An evening with a quiz which started with identifying which countries different cheeses came from.
Lots of questions followed about Holland, France and UK.
Teams laughed a lot as they tackled the questions - thank you to Gill R our QuizMaster.
Well done to the winning teams who took home boxes of shortbread.

We also had a wonderful basket donated as a raffle prize. Thank you to our Treasurer, Gill K.

The National Women's Institute celebrates its 111th year today, 16th September, and Merthyr Mawr WI will celebrate its 96th year in October 2026.

Our member Denise is an avid collector of WI badges and has badges from the 1920's - today.

It was very interesting to hear the history behind the different designs and to see how the badges have changed. Thanks Denise.

A fasinating evening tonight learning about the kimono, Japanese culture and how to put a 4 metre long fabric obi belt on.

Thanks to our speaker Kaori Onoda - we loved how she shared her heirloom kimono's from her mother, grandmother and great aunt. They were beautiful.

The stories of the click-clacking of the special heeled wooden shoes on Summer evenings while walking and watching fireworks was very special.

We look forward to welcoming her again so we can try doing some origami!

Well done to Susan our winner. A lovely bunch of flowers was also won by Chris. Well done.

Edible flowers were tried with scones with jam.

We finished the evening with Flower Bingo! Well done to all the winners.
