WI and the Alpacas

In September we welcomed two very well behaved alpacas -“Lightning” and “Hurricane” to our meeting, along with their owner Wendy Williams. Wendy breeds her alpacas on a farm near Shaftesbury where she offers walking with alpacas (possibly a future WI outing?).   They are also available for weddings and visits to care homes.   After her talk we were given the opportunity to make friends with the alpacas.

It was good to see a number of visitors and potential new members.

Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, 11^th October when we will be hearing about “Nuclear Power” from Stuart Nuttall.

13 WI members ventured far afield to Wareham ,we went to the art and craft show at the Purbeck school. The Dorset WI had an exhibition of members work and also this years project pin cushions. Some very clever ladies I must say . Heading into town for a spot of lunch then aboard the mighty Orca for a historical cruise on the raging river, hold tight me hearties !!! A few spots of rain didn't put us of and our Captain was a very jolly soul. Once safely back on dry land  it was ice-cream o'clock. On our way back to the car we did get a peck at the lovely stained glass window in the Lady ST Marys church.
