Best Dressed Belles
Following the announcement our fabulous win of ‘Best Dressed Stall’ at Bookham Village Day, our members were very excitable at our June meeting on Monday night, so what better way to entertain a large hall of women than to talk about our wardrobes and become the ‘Best Dressed Belles’!! »View More

April 2016 Monthly Meeting
April’s Meeting was a very busy one as we needed to do our Resolutions this month instead of May. Ann Lilleywhite, our WI advisor, was on hand to assist as this is the Belles first year of voting. There are two resolutions this year:
Avoid Food waste, address Food poverty
Appropriate care for people with Dementia in Hospitals.
We voted for each one and the votes were counted and recorded by The Secretary.
We were then treated to an exceptional talk from Monica Weller a local author who co-wrote a book about Ruth Ellis the last woman to be hanged in Britain – what a fascinating story, we were all gripped with tales of murder, lies, guns & espionage and she revealed some amazing truths about what really happened! Following her talk she was surrounded by Belles who wanted to buy her book. Refreshments were served and a great evening was had by all.
