President Margaret McDonald welcomed members and visitors to the November meeting of Antrobus WI. She thanked Caroline Jones for the attractive arrangement on her President’s table and then read out Apologies. Best wishes were sent to Jane Schofield and Jean Wilkinson, both of whom are unwell at present.

Future events were discussed. The Group Carol Service will be held on December 8 at Daresbury Church; members are encouraged to attend this and should ask if they require transport.

Mince pies from this WI would be made by Carol Brocklehurst, Annie Warburton, Jane Schofield and Joy Corlett. Everyone was reminded to bring a present for Father Christmas to deliver at the next meeting on December 9, which is also the Christmas party, 7pm for 7.30pm.

The annual meeting then began, and a record of the 2013 meeting was approved.

The committee for the coming year was proposed and accepted by members, with Sue Richards being elected President. Annie Warburton gave a vote of thanks to the committee and officers on behalf of the members.
