“My inspiration comes from you and your engagement – today and everyday – with our wonderful movement. Our impassioned discussions on our two resolutions today are just one reflection of the collective power we hold and the impact we have in our communities.
So, we will be back together in 2027 in Hull. I look forward to standing here and looking out at you all!” – Jeryl

On a lovely sunny day 10 of our members enjoyed a 'Derbyshire Tour'. They visited Carsington Water, Bakewell and Matlock Bath. During the day they treated themselves to ice creams and cream teas and enjoyed a stroll along the river.

Agnes Peterkin, a 'cunning woman' from medieval times, came to our WI last night to tell us all about natural herbs, roots and plants that will cure all our problems e.g. keep witches, fleas, serpents, lions and tigers away, cure the plague, help with insomnia and even suppress the ardours of over-enthuastic men!

At this month's meeting Phoebe told us about her adventures as a member of the team representing England at international cheerleading events - a fascinating insight into another world! At the age of 27 Phoebe is already one of the older participants but it sounds as if she is already in great demand as a dance teacher and coach, so the future continues to look bright for her - she certainly deserves it! Phoebe got us up from our chairs to try out a few moves and a lot of fun was had by all! Thank you Phoebe for an enjoyable evening.

It was Christmas party time on Monday evening! A delicious 3-course meal provided by Elm Tree Outside Catering, a challenging quiz (thank you Angela!), Secret Santa presents for everyone, topped off with entertainment by a select few of our very own Whitwell Brass Band. Altogether a lovely festive evening!
