February

CHAIRMAN’S COLUMN:

Hello everyone – and a Happy New Year. Let’s hope 2022 is more ‘settled’ than the previous two years.

It was lovely to be able to attend some seasonal celebrations with some of you in December and I am looking forward to meeting up with more of you in the coming months.

Looking ahead, our events committee is planning a varied year of activities and we also have our Federation Weekend at Waddow to look forward to.

There is also the Lincolnshire Show – and you could say it is third time lucky for us to go ‘Into the Woods’. Schedules are in your WIs and we hope as many as possible will enter the show classes.

Ahead of that, there is a new venture for the Federation – the Springtime Extravaganza – which is something else to look forward to.

At this event, we will be holding a tombola and any donations of items for this will be gratefully received. They can be dropped off at WI House or brought to the Annual Meeting at Skegness, where there will be a box for donations to be placed into.

Also to assist federation funds, by avoiding bank charges, it would help greatly if when making any payments for events etc, this is done via bank transfer. Please make sure when doing so, that your surname and the reason for payment (ie: Smith: snowdrops) is put as the reference. This helps allocate your payment and ensure your place is booked.

However, don’t worry if you are not able to do this; cheques and cash will still be accepted.

That is all for now.

Hope to see lots of you at the Skegness meeting

Dianne
Chairman of Lincolnshire North Federation of WIs
