A new year so a new heading for the blog. Of course it is another gateway or door to continue my message that WI membership offers an entrance into lots of new activities and an opportunity to explore beyond the immediate horizon. Various members criticized last year's choice of photo saying it wasn't in the UK but it was: the willow archway is to be found in Northern Ireland. This one is back in England so I should be in the clear.
Nothing much happened over the holiday in WI terms. There was some good publicity about the new food range bearing the WI logo for sale in supermarkets so look out for the items when next you do a food shop. Also some of you like me will have taken an interest in the horse called Denman because of his name link to the WI residential college near Abingdon. Before Christmas he has been retired so no more pin-money from his jumping prowess!
Remember to register your vote for the resolution which you would like to go up for discussion at the WI Annual General Meeting in the Royal Albert Hall in May. The form is in the latest issue of WI Life magazine along with some background notes on the topics raised. All members now have a vote so please make use of it.
