REMINDER
NEW VENUE FOR MONTHLY MEETINGS
From January 2022
BOARSHURST BAND CLUB
Greenbridge Lane, Greenfield OL3 7EW
Our new venue for our monthly meetings is BOARSHURST BAND CLUB, GREENBRIDGE LANE, GREENFIELD OL3 7EW. There is a private car park behind the club and plenty of street parking. The entrance is from the car park. There is a bar available and we have bought compostable cups for our hot drinks, but please bring your own mug if you prefer. The Manager, Linda, has made us very welcome and will be running the bar for us with drinks at Band Club prices so we hope our members will support her.
A WI MEMBER FOR 30 YEARS!
Brenda Williams received her gift and recognition for her long association with the WI on 7th September in her beautiful garden. Sue Harding presented her certificate and gift on behalf of all her WI friends that span 30 years.
Brenda was delighted and wished to thank all her WI friends at Saddleworth WI and formerly at Wilsden WI Yorkshire for the years of friendship and kindness she has enjoyed. Brenda also paid special thanks to all those involved with providing ZOOM meetings during the COVID crisis and helping her with the “technology”.
We are asking for donations for THE MEDICINE PACKET RECYCLING PROGRAMME
and we will be delivering them to Superdrug in Rochdale who are happy to recycle them. Not only are we helping the environment, but the waste we recycle also helps raise money for charitable causes. Bring your empty packs along to the next meeting.
ACCEPTED WASTE: Any brand of EMPTY medicine blister packets
Waste that is NOT accepted:
– Any form of unused, unopened and out-of-date medicine, including tablets, pills, lozenges and caplets as medicine should be returned to a pharmacy for safe disposal
– Cardboard packaging as this can be recycled through your local council facilities
– Any other medicine containers such as bottles, inhalers or sprays
The speakers for 2022 are now on our Meetings Programme page.
The Lancashire Federation organises many events which may be of interest to Saddleworth WI members. Click to view details of these LFWI events.
Saddleworth WI are in the latest edition of Saddleworth Monthly.
ZOOM MEETINGS
We are continuing to host some Zoom meetings, and will review the situation on a regular basis.
TUESDAY TIFFIN CRAFTY CHAT mid-month at 3.30 pm. Bring along your beverage and cake of choice and/or bring any craft projects for an hour’s informal chat and catch up. New members welcome as it is a perfect opportunity to make new friends.
MONTHLY MEETING On the first Wednesday of the month at 7.00 pm. At the last few meetings the technology was positioned to capture the speaker therefore members who were unable to attend in person could still attend the meeting remotely.
See Meetings Programme page for details of forthcoming meetings.
“It is a pleasure to be part of this warm and welcoming WI group.“
