Members Annual Meeting
It was a pleasure to see so many current members & 2 new members at our annual meeting.
The meeting progressed with general business & correspondence received within the month. It was noted the VRG autumn meeting had been a great success with an interesting & highly entertaining tribute to Florence Nightingale.
During the month a number of ladies had attended a willow star weaving workshop & created some lovely star decorations in readiness for Xmas. Hartford WI ladies are continuing to support Leighton Hospital neo-natal unit & have been busily knitting baby hats & bonnets.
Following the general business of the evening, the annual meeting & reading of reports commenced. The financial statement was presented by the Treasurer, proposed, seconded & accepted by members. The Secretary then presented the annual report, again seconded & accepted by members. Following an address by our President the evening moved on to election of the President for the forthcoming year. A ballot was carried out with all members casting a vote. The outcome was unanimous for our current president to continue, which she duly accepted. Three new Committee members are also joining the Committee.
The evening concluded with a cryptic & “True or Twaddle” quiz to test ladies brains.
Finally, it was time to award the cups. The Royce Cup was awarded to the member who had accumulated the most points in the monthly competitions with the New Zealand spoon being awarded to the runner-up. The Lil Moore cup was awarded for the winning entry in Hartford WI’s summer show along with the Literary Award for the winning poem in the show.
