June news....
Everyone who attended our pasta making meeting in May had a great time. We tried our hand at making different types of pasta and pesto to suit all diets. The results were pretty tasty!Open water swimming is becoming more and more popular in the UK, from swimming in rivers, marine lakes and even the sea. If you have thought about it, but not yet took the plunge, our June speaker will hopefully inspire you.
Steve, Three Channels, Price is an honorary life member of Clevedon Amateur Swimming Club. He has swum the English Channel, the Bristol Channel (one way, and there and back!), and the North Channel between Scotland and Ireland. This is considered the most difficult swim in the world. It has been attempted 73 times since 1924 but only eight successful solo swims have been achieved to date, and Steve was number seven.
Steve has shared his adventurous tales with many WI groups, so we are in for an entertaining and eye-opening evening.
We are still accepting membership payment which are £46. Membership fees can be paid by bank transfer, cash, or cheque. Any new members will need to complete a membership registration form.
As we enjoy the long, summer evenings, we will be heading out and about in July to learn more on Bristol’s old city. More details, including times will be in next month’s newsletter.
We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 28th.
