We said goodbye and thank you to Claire-Louise Partridge who has been our President for 3 years. She will now be taking on the role of Treasurer. Catriona Irvine will be taking over as President. All other committee members stay the same, with the addition of Maura Hannon as the new Online Manager. Claire-Louise took us through the President’s report and the Treasurer’s report. Natasha Lee read out the Secretary’s report. We all raised a glass of fizz to celebrate the continuation of the Gloucester Road WI!

As our initial speaker was off sick, committee members brought in some boardgames and a number of tables were set up to play each game. Members could chose which game to play and move around if they wished. We all learnt about some new games – Christmas present ideas all round! – and great fun was had by all.
