I think all will agree that last Monday's meeting  which was the Annual Report followed by "Seasonal Sherry, Sonnets and Snacks"  was a huge success and we were really pleased to see such a big turnout as well in view of the very wet weather conditions. We had a hilarious time listening to the poems and jokes that some of our members had brought in. Dressing up wasn't compulsory but wearing a dandelion hat to say a poem about a dandelion really added to the fun!
The members of the Craft Club brought along some samples of their work over the past year (have a look at the photo in our gallery) so we are hoping more members will be inspired to come along and join them.
And may I take this opportunity to wish everyone who is reading this a Happy Christmas and New Year and thank you for looking at Harden WI's website.  I am now going to start and publish next year's programme on the site so keep having a look - it is our 50th year in 2012 so we are hoping to make it an extra special year in the run up to our 50th birthday in January 2013.

We had a lovely walk this morning as you can see from this photograph taken in St Ives.  There were only four of us - what happened to the rest of you?  Perhaps you were too busy preparing for the festive season or did the impending threat of bad weather keep you away?  Never mind but we hope to see more of you all on our next walk in the New Year which will be on Monday, 9th January.

As usual we had a wonderful Christmas Dinner last Monday - good food, good entertainment and good company - what more can you ask for.  Janet organised the evening in her usual excellent way and along with her group of "little helpers" got the room ready for us on Monday afternoon.  Ronia  changed from her usual quiz and provided us with an hilarious pantomime-style entertainment which she had written herself and we all had to take part in it.  I can't begin to describe what we actually did - you'll just have to join our WI to find out what we get up to!!
