Last night i attended my first Women’s Institute meeting (Wootton Bassett branch) and i have to say it was ace!! There was going to be a talk on owls but the speaker is a gas man by day and there was an emergency so at the last minute a lovely lady called Madeline stepped up and created a quiz for us.

With questions such as “who wrote charge of the light brigade?” and “what is a group of crows called?”  – both of which my team got right!!  My team was myself and my friend Anna who came with me and a a very clever lady called Shirley, who if truth be known was kind of the brains in our team!!

Our team was named “the nerds” and nerds was right as we won!!! How good was that!!

Anna and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves so much that i have already signed up to the promises auction where i have promised to bake a choc cake for someone!! And we are also going to meeting where we are “hooking” up with the hook WI and will have an evening of tasting as they have a chef coming to cook for us… yummy!!

The Women’s Institute is not the old lady meeting that everyone thinks it is a great opportunity for a bunch of girls to get together and have fun and learn something along the way i highly recommend it!!

The next meeting we are having a lady from Marks and Spencers to talk about their underwear!!
