Time for Tea! In aid of Western Park Hospital - Sheffield

Don't forget our Tea/Coffee Morning 

 

 

This Saturday 16th May  -  10 am onwards.

Lunchtime at the Hidden Gem Cafe

After a wonderful cream tea at our May WI meeting,  what better way to follow it than lunch at the highly acclaimed Hidden Gem Café in Ringinglow Sheffield.

 

 

The Café is run by WORK Ltd a charity in Sheffield working people with learning difficulties reach their full potential.  As well as the Café, they provide a range of hands-on work projects to develop life skills for people aged 16+.  These include Woodwork, Gardening, Textiles, Arts and Crafts plus of course Cooking.  They also offer dance groups, drama and music classes once a week to help with confidence building and motivation.



Ready to tuck in ...... we were not disappointed!!

After our wonderful lunch, we were given the opportunity for a bit of 'retail therapy' as one of the volunteers - a wonderful Geordie lass called Brenda - showed us around the wide range of hand-made goods on offer.  As you can imagine it didn't take long for us to treat ourselves!!

A really enjoyable visit - and long may the Charity continue.  We'll be back!!
 

May Meeting - WI Resolutions and Cream Tea

Despite the miserable weather outside,  the Trinity Centre was warm and inviting as we settled down to an evenings entertainment provided by Sybil and a wonderful Cream Tea served by our wonderful 'Tea Ladies'.

 

The 'Sheilas' - giving a warm welcome to all

Sue Dixon introduced our guests from the South Yorkshire Federation Dorothy Meakin and Wendy Walker, before the business items of the meeting were discussed.  All members were in agreement that 'Elderly Care' provision was of the highest priority in terms of the WI Resolutions put forward.


Numerous trips and visits were signed up for before our May Babies received their cards.

Happy Birthday Ladies
 



Competition Entrants

Our competition this month of an item "What is precious to me" included a diverse range of entries all fascinating in different ways but the winner was Pat Shaw with her booklet on Thorpe Hesley.

We then enjoyed a wonderful Cream Tea with a variety of scones baked by members and lashings of Cream and Jam provided by Brenda Allott (even though she wasn't there to enjoy it herself).



Stand Up/Sit Down Bingo

Sybil then led us in a game of Bingo with a difference, followed by a story with a difference ........ after she'd told us the story we then had to re-write it trying hard to remember what we'd heard (not an easy feat!!)

Story Winners!
(Not a fix - honest!!)

Another good evening drew to a close with lots of exciting things to look forward to - well done once again to our hard-working committee..
