2023

2023

After 'surviving' the first year things were much easier, the committee were working well together to provide a programme and social events, which were both entertaining and educational.

FEBRUARY
Collection of green hearts More Hearts 
As part of the Show the Love campaign several
 members created green hearts to place around Stalham
 
Social 2023 
The first social of the year was a trip to the
Theatre to see Kinky Boots
 

March

Monthly Meeting Laugh
If Stalham thought the WI was quiet and ladylike they were disappointed, as in March we held a session of Laughter Yoga
which had originally been planned for the previous September but had been altered after the death of the Queen.

May

May had us celebrating a new King, attending our first Norfolk Federation Annual Meeting and finally getting a date to plant our coummunity tree.

Coronation celebration TWIggy! 
At our meeting we celebrated the coronation of the new King            Whilst our first community tree planting finally got a plot
and a planting date (originally planned for the Platinum Jubilee
 but things never run to plan here in Stalham),
little T.W.I.ggy had been living and growing in the
Secretary's back garden.

June

Teacup flowersTea Cup display
We had fun this month creating a teacup flower
display, although one member did describe
it as sticking flowers in green stuff randomly.
The final display - each one is unique despite 
having the same flowers and greenery.

Away from the meeting several members took
the opportunity to try their hand at
Crazy Golf at nearby Mundesley
We also did our bit to keep our local beach clean on
a short walk along the shoreline in the sun

July

King's coronation tree tree planting group
After what seemed like forever we finally managed to
plant our Crab apple Sapling (T.W.I.ggy). Hopefully it will
grown strong and bear fruit to be made into jam...
At least the weather was fine for the actual
planting, but it didn't stay dry as ten/fifteen minutes 
after the photos the heavens opened and T.W.I.ggy got 
watered in.

September


Monthly meeting1 

monthly meeting 2 
At the monthly meeting we learnt about how to use 
a defribrillator and carry out CPR with the help
of the East Anglian Air Ambulance
Some members took the opportunity to have a go
for themselves.

2023 Summer Outing 

Heritage Day. 
Our Summer Outing this year was an afternoon boat trip
along the River Bure from Wroxham.
As part of the Norfolk Federations Heritage Day several
 members teamed up with Sutton WI members to take 
part in the Norwich Treasure Hunt.
