BLEWBURY W.I. NEWS
Our May meeting involved the 2014 NFWI Resolution: "The NFWI notes that three people die every day whilst waiting for an organ transplant. We call on every member of the WI to make their wishes regarding organ donation known, and to encourage their family and friends, and members of their local communities to do likewise." Following an informative presentation and enlightening discussion, votes were: For – 26. Against – 0. Abstention – 4.
A lively presentation was then given on how to exhibit at the forthcoming VPA Show. I think the VPA members will now have more competition this year!
Our July Meeting is on Wednesday 23rd July and our speaker is Dr Ann Borrowdale who is giving a talk called ‘The Invigilator Who Set Fire To His Trousers’ – should be an amusing evening.

THOUGHT FOR JULY/AUGUST: Age does not diminish the extreme disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall off the cone!
Happy WI-ing
