Here's what's happening this month at Gloucester Rd WI.

Gin Glorious Gin!

Pass the tonic, it's gin tasting

As well as the tasting, there'll be a little talk from our experts from Psychopomp Microdistillery, a craft distillery based in Bristol. They will do a classic G&T, and we'll get to try three of their craft gins.

Just a reminder, we are sorry but we won't be able to accept visitors at this meeting so it's members only this month.

We'll also have our usual WI business, and news on next year's committee and ideas for our programme.

Big Charity Quiz - 6th October Please bring cash this month as this is the last time you'll be able to buy quiz tickets. We really need your support at this event. Remember partners, friends and family all welcome. For your £10 ticket you'll get a choice of meal, and your quiz entry. You don't need to have a team together to come, just come along and we'll partner you up with someone. Raffle and ticket purchases all in aid of this year's charity The Hive.

We'll also have our usual WI business, and news on next year's committee and programme.

Looking Ahead

Committee for 2017/2018

Want to get involved in the committee? We have a few people leaving us this year :( so we'll be looking to fill at least the following roles:

Secretary writes up minutes, postal correspondence and Avon/National relations.
Membership Secretary maintains the membership database, keeps track of membership levels and attendance at meetings.
Online Manager updates the website, writes this newsletter, maintains the facebook membership and looks after twitter. (This role could be split)
Or we can find a role to suit you!

We only meet for no more than one extra meeting per month and there's always cake and drink involved! You'll also have chance to help devise next year's programme, suggest events, put forward campaigns and get involved in a really great dynamic bunch of women! We've had a great response so far but if you are interested please get in touch.
