Talwrn Christmas Fair - Fri 4th December 2009

The 2009 Talwrn Christmas Fair was held in the village hall. The Talwrn Lite ladies came up trumps in helping our community hall raise funds by donating items and giving their time by holding a Bottle Tombola stall. It turned out to be a real hit as the stall was empty within the hour. I'm not sure if this says something about our community liking a tipple, but our volunteers certainly enjoyed the mulled wine and mince pies!

Meeting - Wednesday 2nd December 2009

Christmas started early on Anglesey when Talwrn Lite WI held a minimal business meeting quickly followed by a tasty Christmas meal at The Bay Cafe in Benllech. Twenty-five ladies attended the dinner. The food was fantastic and we had a good laugh playing "Snatch Bingo"! Many thanks to Margaret for taking the meal requirements & payments and to Helen for arranging the game.

The photos above show everybody having a good natter. Ann our Treasurer was the proud winner of a pair of red gloves in the "Snatch Bingo".

Talwrn WI's got Talent - 21st November 2009

The ladies of Talwrn Lite WI recently featured in the village talent contest. The songs they sang were: "The Lonely Goat" and "All That Jazz"! They didn't win anything but had a lot of fun competing in the contest.

New & introducing....

This is the newly launched logo of the WI. It's a bold statement and like they say "it does what it says on the can" with a very current look to it, reflecting the new wave of "Lite" WIs like our own Talwrn Lite. The logo features on the front of the New WI Life magazine. Hope you're getting your copy, if not let me know.

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).
