Botcheston WI News from Sheila Flatt

WE HOPE that the New Year has started well for you all and that you have weathered the cold spell.

As I write, we have just had our January meeting that was unfortunately cut short! We had a visit from the watch at Market Bosworth Fire Station – 3 very nice guys came to talk to us about fire safety in the home and regale us with anecdotes of life as a fulltime and retained fire fighter. From stories of a cat (who turned out to be a squirrel!) stuck up a tree to statistics – only 20% of their call outs are to fires, this being down to the smoke alarm (that should be tested weekly). Unfortunately half way through the evening they got a call and had to depart, promising to come back another time.

We had 3 guests this month who hopefully will become members. Our next meeting is on Thursday 23 February when we will be having a talk on the Life and Times of Agatha Christie – the competition is entitled ‘An Old Book’.

Our Craft and Coffee mornings in February are on the 6 and 20 at Botcheston Village Hall starting at 10.00 a.m. and winding up at 12.00 noon. Bring along your knitting, embroidery or whatever you partake in, or just come along for a chat – a very informal morning – Knit and Natter!
