WI Meeting Update

[Kathryn]

Thats great Ruth.

[mumra]

Lovely blog Ruth! Hanging in the balance at the mo whether I can make the fair as the outlaws are staying but will make some flapjacks anyway, just let me know when/ where to deliver them Annt. Also, have some patterned and flowery bunting (!) which we could hang around our table/stall if we so desired....

[missd]

Hi all, good to meet you all on Tuesd.

5th june is fine with me too and from then on the first tuesday of each month would get my vote. well done on getting the Magdala Katie, that's great.

Ruth the blog looks really good too.

[peckham_perkster]

The blog looks great Ruth.

Annt let me know if cakes need dropping off anywhere as I'm not about that weekend and I'll get them to you or someone else if needs be.

Loving the bunting, I should have guessed that would be the sort of thing you'd have lying around mumra!

[Elfy]

Re the Magdala, I've never actually been but I've read that it's 2 for 1 pizza on a Tuesday night. Now that cannot be a bad thing! Can anyone substantiate this claim?

[georgia]

Yes it is - and they are very yummy too...:)

[snowboarder]

i believe it is.....and they're pretty good too!

oops time delay didn't realise ther was a second page..!

Hiya

So Mark has kindly allowed space in the forum tent at the festival for a table of cakes from the WI. It might be better for someone who is actually going to be there on the day to communicate further with him about how that is going to work. As you may have understood from an earier post it does not seem possible for us to have a dedicated WI bit of the forum (although it doesnt stop us from using it).

[annt]

Hi

I'm organising the cakes but I haven't really used the forum before so can you please tell me the best way to contact Mark re space at the forum.

Thanks Tracey

I feel a bit weird posting here, as if i'm going to be smothered from behind with an estrogen soaked cloth and my unconscious body dumped outside of the thread, but..

Click on Mark's name, he's got a post earlier on this thread. Then you'll find blue link that says 'Send A Private Message' this will take you through to the private message (PM) section, just like email really but soley for this forum.

[Mark]

Hi annt

see where it says Posted by: Mark Today...

click on Mark and you'll see my profile, at the bottom there's a link that says 'Send A Private Message', click on that and send me a message (it's refered to as PM'ing on the forum e.g. "PM me")

Anyway I'll PM you and send you my number so you can call me

cheers

Mark

[annt]

Thanks for all your help. I did actually figure it out myself.

Cheers

[Keef]

Also worth adding people to your buddy list if you're likely to PM them regularly, as it saves you looking for one of their posts to get to a PM. >:D<

Anyway, good luck with it all!

*Legs it*

[Muttley]

It's a bit like blokes listening to Woman's Hour, isn't it. Admit it, we all do it.

Hi all,

Just been away but last Friday I visited the Magdala to have a look at the upstairs space they are letting us use once a month for free. I met with John - who although is not Reg - the owner! - is pretty much in control of everything and so has said to go through him from now on. He also is more than happy for us to use the space for free but unfortunately - now having spread the word abotu the first Tuesday of every month it can't be a Tuesday. As they have the pizza offer, which I know several of you were quite excited about, they are very busy and so couldn't o=afford to give us a member of staff upstairs. However Wednesday is no problem at all (Tuesday/Thursdays are Salsa. So change of plan - can everyone make Wednesday the 6th June as the first meeting and then the first Wednesday of every month from then on. If you could all post onto the forum whether this would work for you then I can get back in touch with John and confirm it. Wednesday is definitely a good mid-point evening - as in its all easy downhill to the weekend after that.

Lucy - I hope that means that Thelma can still make it?

Love

Katie

[snowboarder]

hello - wednesday is good (better!) for me!

[Elfy]

I will email Thelma and let her know. And keep everyone posted.

Unfortunately, I can't make the 6th either. But I should be able to make the following month.

[ruthmct]

Wednesdays are good for me

Ruth

[missd]

hi all, wednesdays are fine with me too. nice mid-week activity and yes then just a couple of days to the weekend.

[elizlondon]

Hi everyone

Just a quick note to let you know that we've now set up an EDWI group at Google Groups, so we can keep all the emails, files etc in one place.

If you haven't yet received an invitation to join the group, please visit: http://groups.google.co.uk/group/edwi to join.

Then all we need to do to email everyone is send an email to [email protected]

You can also elect to receive each email as it arrives, receive one daily email with a digest of all that day's emails, or read the emails only on the web.

If anyone needs any help, please get in touch.

Elizabeth

[Ko]

Good work Elizabeth!

Yes I can make Wednesdays too - great that the day has changed so that Snowboarder can now make it too :)

[keane]

Hi there, I'd like to get involved in the WI, I came to the stall at the fair today and I know there is a meeting on the 6th June, but I will be away then, can someone let me know when the next one is after that so that I can come along.

[Mogs]

The cake stall was lots of fun today.

Just curious as to the where abouts of my trestle table?

I had a text to say someone from the WI was taking care of it.

[specialk]

Elfy has your table! And we have the spotty tablecloth well looked after as well.. It was a great success yesterday despite the weather- all our stock went by 3pm!

[Mogs]

Great, I thought someone would be taking good care of it. Thanks

Elfy just let met know a convenient time to arrange collection.

I'm working from home today, so availability is quite good today.

Thanks again
