Ely City WI welcomes September and stops to reflect on its busy summer, writes Vickie Jameson.
In addition to the monthly meetings, the warm and sunny weather has seen a variety of activities and meet ups for members.
In addition to the small group events such as diners club, coffee catch-ups, book club, craft group and lunch club; some members tried their hand at golf at the driving range.
With a number of other projects and initiatives in the pipeline there is certainly a lot for Ely City WI to get involved with and make a difference.
Once again, members have made fidget quilts and twiddle muffs for local care homes and their residents who have dementia and these will be delivered over the coming weeks.
Ely City WI continue to collect donations for Ely City Foodbank on a regular basis and are currently preparing for their November Remembrance Craft Bomb around the town.
We have had a wonderful summer, and it has been great to meet up through our sub-groups to keep connected and to learn new hobbies or continue with existing interests.
