The resolutions for 2017 are published in the current issue of WI Life (pages 43 - 45) and via this link https://www.thewi.org.uk/__dat a/assets/pdf_file/0003/183747/ Resolutions-Shortlist.pdf Every WI member is invited to vote for the resolutions they wish to have shortlisted for presentation at the next AGM, and a  vote will be taken at the January meeting which is then submitted as the Clifton response to add to the Avon Federation of WIs.   Before the January meeting, please look at the Resolutions, complete the voting form on page 45 of WI Life and bring it with you to the meeting.

Lots to get through, so we'll be starting a bit earlier to fit it all in. Please arrive by 7.30 if you possibly can - and don't forget to bring scissors for the origami workshop with Judith Laing. Click on the "next meeting" tab for more information about Judith's talk and a link to some fabulous photos of her incredible origami. Before Judith's demonstration, however, you will receive a very brief introduction to the three charities shortlisted by the Committee to receive our donation from Clifton WI's surplus funds from the past year.

A reminder that we're running a stall at the brilliant RYC Christmas Fair, selling home-made goodies of all kinds. This is such a great festive event with lots to do, see and buy - and this year it'll be bigger than ever, with several choirs performing Christmas music and a fun dog show. We welcome donations of all kinds of home baking - cakes, biscuits, mince pies, Christmas cakes or puddings, edible tree decorations - or jams, chutneys, mincemeat, brandy butter, Christmas crafts - even a prettily-tied bunch of holly or mistletoe from your garden. It'll all add to the festive home-made goodies on offer and raise funds for Clifton WI and our chosen charity for 2017. Please bring any non-perishable donations to the next WI meeting on Wednesday 30 November, or if you can't make the meeting - or if you're kindly doing some fresh baking - then you can just bring your goodies along on Sunday morning - Sally and Gill will be setting up from 10am and the fair opens at
