Smisby WI Programme
2018 and 2019 Programme
All meetings at Smisby Village Hall unless stated otherwise.
Please note the meeting start time of 7:15 pm. So please arrive at 7 pm.
Advice to Tea Hostesses
We have 3 tea hostesses per month. Every effort is made to rotate this duty and to share responsibility within the group. If you are a tea hostess, it would be a great help if you arrive early to help set out. Also tea towels need to be laundered afterwards. £7 will be allocated for expenses to provide food plus milk.
Please note your date. If you are unable to do this one, please swap dates with someone or arrange a replacement in good time and notify the secretary of this.
Parking
Please park responsibly, without causing obstruction to driveways and the road. Where possible please car share.
Meetings open to all shown in Bold
