Secretary's Report- 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025
GcKxl Moming
This report covers our financial and subscriptton year.
A record of all Monthly Meetings are in a blue book which Is available to every member every month
on the Notitrs Table.
At the Annual Meeting held in May 2024, the offi￿rS of our WI were confimed to remain as Fiona
Haroutunian, President. Pauline Dee, Treasurer and myself as Secretsry. The Committ￿, albeit still
smaller than it should lie, remains strong and committed. We sad to say goodbye to two long
standing members but very pleased to welcome a new member who was also new to our Group. It
has become an increasingly imFQrtant tssk for the Committee to encourage members to join.
Our new'home, at All Saints Church Hall has proved to be very successful and everyone has enjoyed
the M￿ting5 we now hold there.
Our fund raising has gone from strength to strength. These have induded a Month￿ raffle, the 'fun
lottery, and second-hand book stall - with all the unsold books now being sold to World of Books with
Su￿rIs1ngIY good results - three DelilBake Sales in June, November and February - the card making
se55ions - Sales and Bric A Brac - Wisitor - cup salesldonations - a Tombola and a very
successful tea party in August hosted by our TreaSu￿r. Afi have given us some ex￿lIent funds for
the Group.
Our clubs continue to thrive. The walki[￿ Group has proved very popular and have enjoyed some
wonderful walks, with dogs in attendan￿1 The 12rd making sessions have also been very popular.
The 'Ladies Who Lunch, group had five outings to different venues which were all well supported.
In July, Cathy Harrison organised a wonderful outing to Polesden Lacy - hugely enjoyed by all.
The Garden Party held at The Hove Club in August was yet another very Suc￿sful event Despite
the weather being rather unkind this year, we were able to utilize rooms inside the Club and yet
again, our members showed tremendous generosity in their parttcipation and support for the stalls.
In September, Pat Edwards organised and took a number of members and friends on a splendid
holiday to Bournemouth. This trip included several outings and even a last minute hotel change did
not deter our intrepid organiser and all was for the best and a huge amount of fun was had by all.
We celebrated another wonderful Chiistsnas Lunch at the Sussex Cricket Club with 58 members
attending. This year we supported a local Food Bank with donations which was particularly
appreciated. A good time was had by everyone including another ex￿lIent raffle and everyone had a
small gift to tske home.
Due to the change of venue for the Federation Annual M&ting hdd in March from Eastbourne to
Bexhill on Sea, it was decided that there would not be any organised vistt due to the high cost of the
coach which was prohibitrve. Two members attended representing us all on our behalf and one gave
an excellent report at the April m￿ting. It wa5 hoped that the venue would return to Eastk)urne
next year. Hove WI did not provide any baskets this year.
Seven speakers came to entertain us speaking on a variety of different subjects.
The Membership stands at 72 members. Happilyi due to a relaxation of the numbers we can have in
the Hall, we will be in a position to offer membership to a numtrEr on our waiting list which is
particularly satisfying.
Overall, a ex￿lIent year for our thriving ￿.
