A group of six Belles met at the end of August for Fizz Friday at The Windsor Castle in Great Bookham. Cheers everyone. Hope you all had a lovely summer break and here’s to meeting up for our 16th September meeting at Manor House.

Denman Bursaries
At this month’s monthly meeting guest speaker, Andrea McLean, kindly drew out two winners for this year’s Great Bookham Belles WI Denman College Busaries. The two Bursaries are The Great Bookham Belles WI Bursary and The Carol Garrett Memorial Bursary, in remembrance of our lovely Belle Carol, who sadly lost her brave battle with Cancer in March this year. Congratulations to Alison R and Deborah S – both members were thrilled and are looking forward to booking themselves on a course to learn a new skill or craft.
Confessions of a Loose Woman
There’s nothing the Belles like better than a full on chat and gossip about women’s issues … and they weren’t disappointed when we were treated to an enjoyable and informative evening with ‘Loose Woman’ @andrea_mclean who had come to confess all about her latest book, the ‘Confessions of a Menopausal Woman’.
Strictly Costume Trip
Some of the Bookham Belles WI Crafts and Laughs group visited DSI Croydon, who design and make costumes for dancers, including the Strictly Come dancing TV shows in the UK and abroad.
