Hi there from Fulham WI- new WIs starting up in London are always great to hear about!


We have a blog that you might want to check out- http://www.fulhamwi.org.uk. On here you also find committee contact details if you want more advice about setting up your WI.


You also might like to come along to our next meeting which will be on Mon 14th May- you'd be more than welcome.


Best wishes and good luck with it all!


Sarah

Membership Secretary, Fulham WI

I have been so busy at work that I haven't had the time to check out the threads on the forum as much as I have been doing (what is the world coming to??!)


So just got around to reading this thread from beginning to end and it left me all goose pimply, the way it picked up momentum and a real sense of community spirit - well done ladies and I hope that it's a rip roaring success.

Um... Well, I guess honesty is the best policy... So I'm really sorry for not joining you this evening - my rubbish excuse is that I forgot! All the talk at work was about the footie and it's on terrestrial and it's a really good game and I just remembered now... I hope you had a good turn out and a good evening, I'd love to hear about it. (Are WI members allowed to like football, or only jam amd stuff?)

Hi all - Great to meet you all last night - this feels great that we are actually moving forward with this. I am going to try and crack on today and phone up possible locations such as the Magdala, EDT and the idock place. Lucy - you did a great job last night - let me know when you have asked the W.I woman about coming to the next meeting as it would be good to know if we are going with Monday the 21st or if she can't make it. I am free beginning of June so we could always all meet then and that would give us pletny more time to get things such as the location, website, blog and list of names going.



If you have time to post up a few notes that would be fab then everyone who could and couldn't make it can catch up.

One thing we should have done last night and didn't was go round the group and introduce ourselves a bit more - got names but it would be great to have a bit of background on everyone. We should definitely do that at the next meeting.

Hi Katie


I've posted another thread with some notes about the meeting. Let us know how you do re venues. Once we have that and the day sorted, I'll get in contact with the WI.


I'm also going to get in contact with the other WIs, to see if they can give us some more info about the 3 roles. It's all a bit vague at the moment!


Cheers


Lucy

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
