Audlem WI

Audlem WI held their monthly mee1ng on 2nd June.

After the President, Brenda Heathcock, had welcomed everyone, the singing of Jerusalem and apologies given, the meeting commenced.

The Speaker for the a6ernoon was Val Mackin who stepped in at the last minute due to a cancellation. Val is a familiar face in the village having lived on a narrow boat on the canal for the past 8 years.

 Val gave a very interesting talk on her craft making, starting with the history of sheep's wool, the process of spinning the wool to make the yarn for weaving, knitting etc. she also showed us many other handicrafts she had made from natural materials gathered along the canal and hedgerows. She had even made a shawl spun out of dog hair!

She was thanked by Susan Kaufman.

  • The Treasurer gave her report, although funds were looking healthy there is a need for fund raising during the year as speaker costs were rising as well as other expenses.
  • The President would like to get Outings/Workshops started again – boards were circulated during tea break asking for names and ideas, these will be discussed at next months meeting.
