Talwrn Eisteddfod - Saturday 7th November 2009

The village of Talwrn holds an Eisteddfod each year. At the last minute, Talwrn Lite WI decided to enter a singing party. They sang a song (in Welsh) from the Blood Brothers musical called "Tell Me It's Not True - Dwed nad yw ein wir".

The top photo shows our nervous ladies just before they started to sing. The photo at the bottom shows the victorious group (including Martin Jones who conducted the party). They sounded fantastic, the judges comments were very complimentary and Talwrn gained first place, winning a trophy and a £75 cash prize which will go into the Talwrn Lite funds.

Thank you also to the ladies that helped in the kitchen with refreshments.

Meeting - Wednesday 4th November 2009

Getting down to business...

November is traditionally "The Business" meeting of the WI year and at Talwrn Lite we were no different. As it was our first Annual Meetting we had an AFWI Advisor (Yvonne Tatum) in attendance to ensure we covered everything required. On completion of "The Business" we had refreshments of Pimms, Wine and Nibbles while completing a quiz.

(For those members that were not present at the meeting, please contact Delyth or Sam regarding the Christmas dinner arrangements).

AFWI Fashion Show - 9th October 2009

The Anglesey Federation of Women's Institutes held a fashion show in Talwrn Village Hall to raise funds for the Federation. Delyth Jones transformed the hall with a professional lit catwalk, delicate drapes and floral arrangements. Refreshments were served by gentlemen wearing evening (black tie) suits.

Stunning attire from the Menai Bridge boutique "Elsa" were displayed by five models. Some of the key features to be aware of for Autumn Winter 2009 appear to be tweeds, velvet trousers, large brooches and different shaped hem-lines.

Quiz Night - 8th October 2009

Gwyngyll Women's Institute invited the Talwrn Lite WI ladies to provide a team at their evening quiz, held in the Llanfairpwll WI hall. Thanks to Marge, we were called the "Talwrn Totties"! Talwrn Lite came joint third with three other teams. The refreshments were lovely - especially the cakes. Thanks for a great evening Gwyngyll.

Meeting - Wednesday 7th October 2009

Can you believe that a year has passed since the initial meeting to see if the village of Talwrn wanted a Women's Institute. At the October meeting, the members celebrated with Bucks Fizz and birthday cake.

At this meeting, fellow Talwrn Lite member Pam Holt provided a lively demonstration on making a no-cook cake which could be used at Christmas. In true Blue Peter tradition Pam unveiled a cake she made earlier and issued the challenge of "Guess the alcohol in the cake"!
