Meldreth WI

It seems such a long time since we all met up; however, providing ‘Mr Covid’ does not rear his ugly head again, we may be able to resume our meetings within the next two or three months. There will be a lot of ‘do or don’t do this’ but I am sure the Village Hall committee will be able to guide us. Throughout the last few months we have all managed to keep in touch with each other, some by Zoom or email and pidgin post also came to the rescue. We have been able to keep in touch with all the other institutes in Cambridge and see what their members across the county have been up to via a monthly newsletter, sent out by email from our Cambridge office. We have all kept ourselves occupied. The knitting needles have been clicking away, jigsaws pulled out of the attic and what about those books we have meant to read but never got round to? Weeds didn’t dare show their heads in the garden; out they came. We were all very upset to hear that our own college, Denman, has had to close due to high maintenance costs and lack of funds. We have all had very good times there, covering many subjects. We will keep you informed as to when we will resume our meetings and hope to see you all then. Jane and the committee send our best wishes to you all.
