Hello all members of Hartlebury WI

I just want to say a few words to you all following the Afternoon Tea yesterday . I joined the WI 10 years ago after I moved here to care for my mum, with no friends only family that also lived in the village. My aunt Helen was a member and she said I needed time for me so I joined. It was the best advice she could have given. Being part of WI and WI Sub groups has sometimes taken over my life , I would not have it any other way, you only get what you put in. Yesterday was just an opportunity to thank you all for your support, friendship and love. I offered to do this 12 months ago and I really enjoyed doing it , my poor suffering husband even got roped in along with Joy and Sue’s husbands but he knows me well and that’s part of being a husband of a WI member . It would never of happened without the support and encouragement from our committee, it was a joint effort and they all worked super hard to make it happen too. So I often say we have one of the best WIs if not the best but actually we have the best members , you are all wonderful, supportive lovely people and I know this won’t change . I want to thank you all so much for the loan of milk jugs, sugar bowls , plates and teapots , we could not have done it without you kindly letting us borrow them. I will not be at the next meeting on Wednesday 9th September so I hope you all enjoy the rest of the summer ###

What a wonderful Wednesday! Yesterday we all came together for a delicious afternoon tea at Hartlebury Parish Hall.
A huge thank you to Hartlebury WI master baker Louise Thomas who baked up an absolute storm. And thank you too, to all the Hartlebury WI assistant bakers, sandwich artists as well as the set-up & tidy-up crew!
Despite the heat outdoors, the hall was lovely and cool. We all had a fantastic afternoon with a super group of women celebrating community, connection and cake!

Today some of our WI member attended the craft show at Alvechurch . We had a great day and we did well with our entries . We entered, the cooperative, cookery , craft , photography , preserves, calligraphy and a picture with “down on the farm “ theme . We did well but there was stiff competition from other WIs but we did get 1st place in the cookery which I’m thrilled about . Well done to everyone that entered , it’s nice to win but it’s taking part that matters and we did put something into all the categories . Here are our entries 😉

We had a very interesting evening with guest speaker (and hedgehog enthusiast) Terry Green. 🦔❤️

We learned all about these delightful little garden visitors: how to help them when they are struggling, and the best way to support them in our gardens & surroundings throughout the year.

It was a lovely evening with great company and dash of midsummer sunshine too. 🌞

Thank you to all of the wonderful Hartlebury WI members, and visitors, who could join us this evening.

We hope to see you all again for our next meeting on Wednesday 8th July. 🎭

A huge thank you to our wonderful member Vicki , after her mom spend time in The Wharf Care Home she realised that many elderly do not have relatives to support them and supply them with toiletries. So she inspired us all to buy some toiletries to donate, you have all been so very generous and Vicki as taken all the donations along . They were extremely grateful and overwhelmed that we have put some thought and time into doing this. So thank you to Vicki and everyone that donated, it means such a lot .

On Thursday 16th April we had a great visit to The Church of the Sacred Heart and Saint Catherine of Alexandria in Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire, England, which is a fine Grade II listed building containing stunning mosaics and sculpture but it is essentially a quiet place for prayerful worship. We saw pictures of the architecture, mosaics and sculpture and the opportunity to learn about the history and artistic influences. This is truly the most breathtaking building and if you have never been, you can go most afternoons and there is often someone to share its story.
