Looking ahead with Clifton WI

By -
Our July meeting is, as always, a summer's evening walk followed by drinkies. This year Patsy Rose will lead a half-hour walk entitled "Clifton High Street and other little-known facts".  Afterwards we'll meet at the Port of Call for drinks (and perhaps food if you wish).

August is chill-out month when we have a sociable home-grown meeting and this year we'll have the name badge competition (see recent post) followed by a team challenge, organised by Jane Thomas. For the badges, we'll be providing various craft bits and bobs so we can sit around companionably with a glass of wine (or a cup of tea), gossip and create. If you've already made your badge well then, you'll just have to gossip and drink. Sorry!!

More details on both meetings later.

Some events and ideas for Clifton WI members over this summer

Clifton WI members like to get out and about in smaller groups for outings and visits.   We have some planned dates and ideas so do come along to our next meeting on April 26th or look out for your next newsletter in your inbox for further details. 🌸 👣 🎭 ♣🍲🚶🌉 In May a group are heading to Hanham Court Gardens, in July we have our annual meeting 'on the hoof' when we go for a walk ending in a local pub.  In addition, some will be going to find out a bit more of the shady history of life in Bedminster on a guided walk and we are also thinking of planning a visit to the hidden parts of Clifton Suspension Bridge.   This is in addition to monthly meetings and all our social groups getting together for theatre trips, meals or to review books and play a variety of games.

Cold Hall, Warm Hearts!

Our last meeting was met with mild weather outdoors, but rather chilly temps indoors! The heating was broken in Alma Hall, but the beautiful church came to our rescue with a grander backdrop than we're used to for our monthly meeting. We had a lovely time catching up and discussing the resolutions, which led to a lively debate, and took the opportunity to shop at our book and regifting stalls. A special thanks to those who helped the evening go smoothly, despite the change of venue. Unfortunately, it appears February is going to turn cold once again! We had a little reprieve from winter, but it was not to last. So, we will have to keep warm together and listen to another wonderful speaker. On 28 February, we will host Claire Hiscock, Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner for Avon & Somerset. She will discuss their priorities for tackling violence against women and girls in our area. We will be meeting in our usual location, the rear hall of Alma Church, at 7.30pm. Visitors are a
