The Village Hall was crowded for our June meeting but unfortunately our speaker was indisposed so we had several games of Bingo instead. Our Lunch Club Is still meeting regularly at various pubs and restaurants around the area. We will be running a tombola stall at the Quedgeley Show in August and were asked if we could bring along any toiletries, small items or mugs that we can use on the stall. We were also asked for donations to go into a collecting box for the Quedgeley Kitchen.

Our July speaker will be by one of our members with her talk on Volunteering at an Elephant Sanctuary and the competition is for an animal photograph. We have our Summer Outing in August to Evesham Country Park and are hosting the WI Group Party in the same month, when some of our members will be wearing the 1920s costumes they wore at our 100th Birthday Supper. With the GFWI 110th Anniversary Fete in September and Paul Murphy with his talk on Charlie Chaplin also in September we still have plenty to look forward to. Finally, on to the main event of the evening, the Bingo session! There were several excited false calls of “Bingo” before we got into the swing of things, cash prizes were handed out and the evening ended on a high note. If anyone would like to come along to hear our next speaker or to future meetings they will be made very welcome. We meet at 7.30pm on the second Wednesday of every month in Quedgeley Village H
