OUR October meeting was also our AGM and we were pleased to welcome Maureen Francis, who explained her role as a WI adviser for Essex.

There are eight new Institutes in Essex including Westcliff and Chafford.

The secretary reported an interesting year with good speakers and various visits, especially to Little Havens Hospice in Thundersley.

The committee was nominated including our new president Caryl Taylor.

As part of Bee Aware action week, to raise awareness of the plight of the honey bee, two members had made cakes containing honey to enjoy over a cup of tea.

Some members have been busy knitting hats and scarves for the Seafarers Mission and others are organising parcels to forward to our troops in Afghanistan.
