Our AGM and chocolate quiz

Reporting, quizzing and chocolate – our AGM

Our AGM is an important event in our year. There have been figures to prepare, the year to review and a look ahead. There's been keen-eyed admin by our Secretary, Celya, reporting from our President, Heather and thank you to Middlesex Federation for leading proceedings.

There's been some fiendish quiz-setting about chocolate too, from Sally, and a mystery chocolate tasting from Natasha. Chocolate might have been eaten...

And in all of that is a story about an active group of WI members that meets, learns, listens, walks, helps out and laughs together, that makes the most of its wide array of knowledge, interests and skills and that's built a cheerfully collaborative committee that can adapt around everyone's commitments, challenges and abilities. 

Here's to our next year.

Our May walk

A colourful walk in Victoria Park

Lush from the week's showers and full of blossom, Victoria Park was perfect refreshment for our May walk, full of colour – and we were a colourful group to match. 

Our walks are a chance to chat and they're always full of stories, this month of two young park workers who met there and of the old Lido.

Sally brought the knowledge, which set us talking about the origins of London's parks, this one created for public health, and there was refreshment of the café kind at The Hub.

If you'd like to join one of our walks, look out for the next 'Coming up' blogpost for details.

Coming up in May 2023

A regal park walk, our AGM and some chocolate – coming up in May 2023 

Our monthly walk – Victoria Park

Saturday 13th May, 11.00

As a nod to all things Royal we thought we would revisit Victoria Park. Does anybody know the distance to walk the perimeter? Well, bring your pedometers and we can find out! We’ll put together some fascinating facts as well to keep us entertained on the way round. Then we thought coffee/brunch/lunch at The Hub, with their delicious array of home-made cakes and savouries. Meet at Crown Gate E9 7DE - nearest the pavilion café and toilets.

Our AGM, with chocolate tasting and quiz – Thursday 18th May, 7 for 7.30pm, 

St Margaret's House, Old Ford Rd, E2 9PL

Our Annual General Meeting is an opportunity to review what we have achieved over the last year and to vote for committee members. We are always looking for more members to help us run EEWI, please consider joining the committee. 

Think you know your chocolate? Well, come along and have a go at this month's activities... In a change to the advertised programme, we now have a tasting of apparently-identical samples of chocolate, devised by Natasha, and a chocolate quiz, compiled by Sally.

If the gate is locked when you arrive at St Margaret’s there will be a call bell on the right hand side at the back of the gate.
