St. Keverne Womens` Institute News

President Hazel Savage. Business and county news were shared and suggestions for the 2012/13 programme discussed. As speakers and demonstrations are very expensive Hazel asked for ideas to come from within the group to save costs. The first suggestion was to book the December Christmas meal for 2012 with Dot Rogers who provided a splendid meal for us last year.

Our Charity Coffee Morning will be on 17th March at 10.30am in St. Keverne Methodist Hall; this year we will be supporting St Petroc's. The St. Keverne Queen's Diamond Jubilee Committee has asked our WI to make a contribution to the St. Keverne celebrations; a decision will be made at the next meeting. Knitting for shoe boxes will start again on 10th February, time and place tba. AGM in March: the committee will provide a supper and Di Bowgen and Gill Bosustow have kindly offered to give a cookery demonstration.

Dot Rogers then gave a lovely demonstration of chocolate decorations for cakes and truffles which she decorated and placed in home-made boxes (which Dot assured us were simple to make). Dot then very kindly gave the decorated cake and two boxes of truffles for our raffle.

Competitions: My Favourite Brooch: 1st Dorothy Kemp, 2nd Jackie Allen and 3rd Hazel Savage. Flower of the month: 1st Dorothy Kemp, 2nd Pam Kaley and 3rd Rita Kelly.

Date of next meeting: February 16th in St. Keverne Methodist Hall at 7.30pm.
