February Meeting - Change of date

Just to let you all know that we had to change the date for our February meeting. It will now be on the 6th February at the usual time of 7pm. 
We will have a cooking demonstration by our member Kathy Roberts and the competition is for an unusual kitchen/cooking utensil.

Last night President Mairwen Jones welcomed members to the first meeting of 2012.
After the usual WI business, members were ask to suggest venues for our St David's celebration in March.
It was decided to get menus from Lle Hari and Plas Maenan.
Mairwen then introduced Alan Pritchard, who gave us an insight into his work as a Snowdonia National Park Warden.

November Meeting

To our November meeting we welcomed John Griffiths from Tal Goed Nursery. He brought along a lot of plants for use in pots and baskets that will tolerate the cold temperatures during the winter month and houseplants like poinsettias,cyclamen and azaleas to name a few. He planted up a hanging basket and tub and gave us some useful hints and tips on how to care for your outdoor and indoor plants.
