I expect you know that you pay from the subscription so much back to the institute and it is the same from dual or full membership. ( I am not sure but I think if you are a dual you don't pay anything back to County or national). Good luck with choosing.

An interesting place to visit for sure and meet people that have visited there too. <br />FYI: I did go to the Bentwaters Cold War Museum website and was quite an interesting read of the history. Some I didn't know about. Thanks for the information, Sue!

I'm fascinated watching the bears catching Salmon. The link is at https://explore.org/livecams/bears/brown-bear-salmon-cam-brooks-falls, but if you'd prefer to take it out you can find all sorts of livecams at explore.org.

Because we are small we get to do more hands on things, next month we are making mincemeat also we only need cars for outings (we contribute towards the cost of petrol). By having a bigger WI the load is shared when it comes to helping out at fetes etc. if the one Cols sister is president of is an evening one maybe you could try saying you prefer afternoons to evenings or vice a versa.

I am glad you ...Sounds a very interesting speaker.<br /><br />I am glad you are enjoying the WI Sue. We had our meeting last week and committee was re-elected. There are only 12 of us but we all pull together and are a happy band. Our charity for 2017 is women in a local refuge. We are filling 12 gift bags with various toilet items wrapped in bright paper each bag will have the same items in and when the ladies and children come back from Christmas dinner the bags will be under the tree for them. We were told that the children get lots of things but the Mums are left out. Is your WI doing anything?<br />I am hoping to move soon and. There is a WI in the village which I shall try.<br />Have a good weekend.<br />Hazel c uk<br />hazel c UK https://www.blogger.com/profile/01638654030434369177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-43583752020581836322017-11-09T08:23:47.070+00:002017-11-09T08:23:47.070+00:00Martin went and did some WI talks after climbing E...Martin went and did some WI talks after climbing Everest he took along all his equipment so they could see and try on all the different things needed for the expedition he also had them trying there hand at tying some climbing knots, next year he is planning a trip to Alaska perhaps he should put himself forward for some more talks.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213759909336433460noreply@blogger.com
