What a wonderful afternoon for our Art Appreciation Sub Group

We were treated to an excellent private tour of the house and its treasures, with our extremely knowledgeable guides, Paul and Lesley, bringing the history and artworks to life. A special highlight was the opportunity to admire the magnificent Canaletto paintings and learn more about the collection.

Having the house almost to ourselves made the experience even more special.

Everyone had a thoroughly enjoyable time and agreed it was a fascinating and memorable visit. Many thanks to Benita for organising such a successful outing and to Tatton for accommodating our group with a fantastic private tour.

Superb couple of days with Fulshaw members helping in the WI Marquee. We haven't entered but we can certainly appreciate the skill.

What an enjoyable evening we had on Monday with the excellent Dr Neil Buttery, chef, restaurateur and historian of British food. His fascinating talk introduced us to the remarkable Elizabeth Raffald, the pioneering Mancunian cook and entrepreneur who was truly ahead of her time.

A big thank you to Rosie for stepping in and leading the evening so well. We did, however, miss Jane's traditional final joke!

An entertaining and memorable night for all.g!

When our walking group was offered a historical walk around Nether Alderley and Alderley Edge, we couldn't resist.

Our member, Ann C, expertly guided us around the area, pointing out fascinating landmarks including the old Eagle & Child Inn, Nether Alderley Mill, and St Mary's Church. We even ventured into the beautiful woodland at Alderley Edge.

Did you know that the little pub known as the Miners' Arms was built in the 1780s? Lord Stanley introduced a local prohibition on his estate, resulting in the closure of the pub and several other drinking establishments on his land.

The Stanley family was a major landowning dynasty with deep historical roots in Nether Alderley, serving as Lords of the Manor from 1602 until 1938.

What a fascinating and enjoyable walk, full of local history and interesting stories. A huge thank you to Ann for sharing her knowledge and bringing the area's rich heritage to life.

A huge thank you to Jane R for organising such a fun morning at The Beeches Adventure Golf.

It was wonderful to see everyone enjoying themselves, providing friendly competition, and great company throughout the course.

The sunshine made the morning even more special — we really were lucky with the weather.

Fulshaw WI were delighted to welcome Luke-Matthew Iveson, winner of 2024’s The Great British Sewing Bee, to our June meeting.

Originally from Heald Green, Luke shared his fascinating journey into sewing, from first learning the craft at around 8 years old taught by his grandmother, to rediscovering his passion at college through creative stage costume work. We discovered this wasn't his first time attempting to take on the Sewing Bee challenge having been the potential stand in for the previous series.

A truly inspiring evening with great insight from a talented local man. Luke and his mum were also extremely generous with their time, chatting with members and answering questions after the talk, which was greatly appreciated by everyone. Thank you, Luke, for such an enjoyable and engaging evening.

A wonderful visit to the Banksy exhibition in Manchester today with our Art Appreciation group.

Thought-provoking, powerful and at times deeply hard-hitting, the exhibition was brilliantly curated and exceptionally well presented throughout. Set within a superb venue, it made for a truly memorable and inspiring experience.

Many thanks to Benita for organising such an excellent trip for us all.

We had a lovely morning volunteering at Francis House Children’s Hospice, putting together chocolate eggs and chicks and even repairing some little chicks so they can be ready for sale.

Last year, over 33,000 chicks were sold – an incredible achievement and the hospice’s major fundraising event.

Fulshaw WI have proudly knitted chicks and donated chocolate eggs over the past few years, but it was especially fabulous to be able to give our time and volunteer in person this year. It was such a rewarding way to support this amazing charity.

A huge thank you to Ann T for organising such a super morning for us all.

We were delighted to welcome Professor Zara Hodgson, Director of the Dalton Nuclear Institute at the University of Manchester, to speak this evening.

Professor Hodgson gave a fascinating talk about her career in the nuclear industry, highlighting key milestones including leading nuclear fuel policy for Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. She explained the important role nuclear research plays in supporting the UK’s energy future. And her Nuclear 'Tapas' gave a varied selection of subjects from Dr Who to Sewage Systems!

As Director, she leads the University’s nuclear research strategy. What made the evening especially enjoyable was how clearly she explained complex topics and how willing she was to answer questions.

Our members really appreciated her warm and engaging style.

It was another very successful evening.

Book Club – This Month’s Meeting

This month’s Book Club was led by Ann, with seventeen members enjoying The Glass Maker by Tracy Chevalier, including the BBC Sounds presentation. It prompted a good, lively discussion and plenty of shared thoughts about the book.

The story also brought back memories of holidays in Venice, which added an extra layer to the conversation. We were pleased, as always, to meet at a local business who are consistently welcoming and happy to accommodate our group.

Another enjoyable and well-attended meeting — thank you to Ann and to everyone who came along. We’re looking forward to next month’s read 'You Are Here' - David Nicholls
