Strawberry Line WI Announce First Meeting

Tuesday, January 12th 2010 sees STRAWBERRY LINE WI – a newly launched female club – host its inaugural meeting at 7.30pm in Cranmore’s Memorial Hall.

The celebratory champagne launch will be hosted by WI officials, Hannah Edgar, Cobi Snelson and Joni Jennings, who have undertaken significant work to establish a fresh WI following the closure of the Cranmore & Doulting group in 2006 after 60 years in operation.  The evening will showcase “Chepstow Cupcake Company” gorgeous edibles, which will be available for purchase.

Strawberry Line WI President, Hannah Edgar, said: “We are delighted to launch Strawberry Line WI.  We set about this project some six months ago because of the lack of activities for girls in the area.  Our desire is to banish the typical WI preconceptions of Jam & Jerusalem, and create a lively and innovative club.  We look forward to welcoming many members of all ages.”

Throughout the year, Strawberry Line WI will welcome speakers from: Somerset Lavender, Brown Cow Organics, Pampered Chef, The Body Shop, Riverford Veg Box Scheme and Pilton Environmental Group.  As well as talks on Chocolate, Self Defence, Wine Tasting, Lessons in Knitting, Living and Working in Afghanistan, Bee Keeping, Working with Pandas … and welcome your suggestions …
