My grateful thanks to all concerned for their help, support and custom which enabled us to donate the amazing total of £1020.60 to Macmillan, FAB-U-LOUS
OCTOBER 11TH 2018 – STAR GAZE THE SKY AT NIGHT
Derek Langley used the big hall screen to take us on a Sky at Night journey, visiting all the planets of the solar system over a journey time of 52 years. A revelation to us all to see the size and distance of them all. Unfortunately, the cloudy skies prevented us from a hands on experience, but at least now we know where to look and what to see. The tea girls Val and Rosemary provided us with delicious, much needed refreshments after such a long journey. Thank you everyone for a lovely evening.
OCTOBER 16TH 2018 – THE ANNUAL GROUP MEETING
This year’s annual get together of all the WI’s in our group is at Thurston Community College.

NOVEMBER 8TH 2018 – GRAND DESIGNS COME TO PAKENHAM
Pakenham’s very own Grand Designer John joins us as our very special guest to tell the inside story of his recent house build and conversion.
Another busy October in the life of Pakenham WI. My thanks to all my wonderful committee and members who work so tirelessly to make our institute such a success, and pleasure to be part of. As one new member said to me recently, I never realised being a WI member could be so busy and such fun.
