5th Birthday Meal Tuesday 10 March 2015

It seems like yesterday that a meeting in January 2010 was held in Eltham for ladies interested in setting up a local WI, such was the response that 2 WIs were set up.  Eltham Palace WI held it's first meeting in March 2010 and last week we celebrated our 5th birthday with a meal at Sophie's Choice, Sidcup where 35 members got together for a really enjoyable meal, just see our pictures below!

February Monthly Meeting

Sounds like I missed a really good meeting! 
Unfortunately I could not make our last meeting but everyone I have spoken to has told me  how good our speaker was. He spoke on bees and was highly entertaining am I told, I'm sorry I missed him. However, he also speaks on cheese making so we will remember that when we come to craft our next program.
Our next get together is our birthday meal, I can't believe we have been together for 5 years, it seems like only yesterday when we first meet and agreed to set up Eltham Palace WI, long may it remain!

Musuem of Brands, Packaging & Advertising

This quirky museum is home to 150 years of consumer history, reflecting on how our shopping habits have changed. Also the huge impact of motoring, aviation, radio and TV and not forgetting the effects of two world wars and the gradual emancipation of women.
Excellent day out surrounded by friends we arrived at Notting Hill. Short walk to cafe, stopped off for a drink before moving on to museum close by. Pleasantly surprised - took me back to childhood days of visiting Grandma.
I would thoroughly recommend this venue to friends and family. After our visit everyone went their separate ways, to eat or sight see.
