For the first meeting after the summer break, Fovant WI was joined by WI advisor Christine Walker who had attended the W.I national AGM at Leeds on June 7.

Ms Walker gave us a glowing account of a glamorous event, the serious topics the members discussed and the lighter side presented by various famous speakers. Following this was a hilarious hour of fun and concentration as Jenny Berwyn-Jones' daughter Gemma endeavoured to teach us the rumba, the cha-cha and tap dancing – but despite her best efforts I don't think we are ready for "Strictly" yet.

The next meeting is on October 9 at 7.30pm in Fovant village hall when a representative from The Body Shop will give us the chance to sample and/or buy some of their 900 natural beauty products. Members will also be running a bring-and-buy table so, if you have any garden produce, unwanted gifts or crafts you no longer require, bring them along to sell for the Help for Heroes fund.

Everyone welcome so do come and join us.
