OUR AFTERNOON AT WHITTLESFORD
The Choir were invited to sing on the occasion of the Cambridge Federation of Womens Institute 100 year Birthday Celebration on 1st November. It was an absolutly wonderful afternoon with the Cambridge Players to entertain us for up to an hour of humerous scripts and tales of the WI during its 100 year journey and how funny they were, they also dressed in costumes of each decade. Cambridge WI members presented everyone with a splendid high tea, marvelous tasty finger sandwiches, cream scones and so many beautiful cakes were baked by them for this event. An interesting talk was presented by the National Chair followed by thanks from Sally Kingman Cambridge Chair.
The Choir then sang an enviomental songs ‘Blackbird with one White Feather’, sending out a very popular message and then ‘Hine Ma Tov’ a lively Jewish song. Everyone then joined the choir to a rendition of ‘Jerusalam’. A truely memorous event was enjoyed by all.
February/March 2023
February started with tea and cake at The Stove Café in Bourn to brighten up a very dreary February afteroon.
Our monthly meeting on 15th February saw many members and visitors come along to listen to a most interesting talk and presentation given by Maggie James about her experiences when living and working in Saudi Arabia back in the 1980s. Maggie quoted passages from her new novel ‘No Way Home’ and brought along signed copies for members to purchase.
Over 30 ladies enjoyed a great evening out to the Peterborough Key Theatre to see the wonderful ballet of ‘Beauty and the Beast’. A thoroughly enjoyable experience with wonderful costumes and music.

PAPWORTH EVERARD WI JULY/AUGUST 2021
Celebrations were the order of the day when we met for the fist time since Lockdown restrictions were lifted. We arrived, armed with chairs, food and drink for a Picnic in Papworth Park on Saturday 31st July. Around 20 ladies gathered to enjoy a lovely afternoon, with lots of chatter and catching up with what had been going on during lockdown. Celebration cupcakes were enjoyed by all to finish off the afternoon and all agreed it was great to get back to some kind of normality after such a long period of time.
We look forward to meeting ‘inside’ for our first Members’ evening on Wednesday 15th September at the Studio for a Social Evening giving all a chance to enjoy the company of others. Please bring along any crafts or makes/bakes or ideas that have come during Lockdown to share with us all.
Remember the date: Wednesday 15th September 2021 – new members/visitors welcome
