Meeting Reports



Our regular monthly meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month at 7.30pm at Quedgeley Village Hall, Bristol Road, Quedgeley, Gloucester.

After our monthly meetings we submit a report for publication in the next issue of Quedgeley News. One of our members, Christine Bentley, is our News Reporter. To give you a flavour of our meetings we have included copies of some of this year's reports.

February 2024

by Quedgeley WI - March 7th, 2024

The Village Hall looked very colourful as the tables were set ready for our 99th Birthday Supper but because it was also Valentine’s Day the scattered red petals and single roses made it look even better. Before we were able to enjoy the supper of cottage pie with vegetables followed by the always delicious desserts we went through the business.

In March we will try the new format of having the speaker before the business once more but may revert back to the previous arrangement if everyone agrees. We have two teams for the GFWI Quiz when we hope for success, there are plans for a fund raising coffee morning in May and a theatre visit to Malvern Theatre that will also be in May. Some members will be attending the Group Supper in June. There were suggestions for the August outing when we could choose a steam train ride, a river cruise in Stratford or a visit to Highclere Castle, final arrangements to be made at a later date.

Prizes were awarded for the competitions that we have throughout the year and there were joint prizes of money for 3rd and 2nd places and one 1st prize. As well as the competition awards bookmarks were given to members who had been with our WI for ten years or more.

The speaker for our March meeting will be Abi Griffiths, a Community Social Health Advisor and in April we will see the return of Kate and Angela Peake with another of their always interesting talks, this time it is Costumes of the Victorian Seaside and the competition is for a seaside postcard.
