NOVEMBER MEETING REPORT 2016
The Arts and Crafts Fair at the church hall was a great success and our cake stall made £72.50. We didn't have much left over at the end and what did remain wasn't wasted. As out trip this year to Newmarket Ladies' Day went down so well it was suggested we have another next year, perhaps in company with the Kirton 'Blokes' if they are agreeable. In 2017 the National AGM will be held in Liverpool, a city well worth visiting these days, and Kirton and Falkenham will be supplying a delegate who will represent Levington, Nacton and Bucklesham WIs as well as ourselves. Besides the delegate, anyone else can go along but they must be prepared to pay the price of travel and accommodation; the delegate goes free. As announced above our meeting next month will start early at 1.15pm as we are going to partake of a fish'n'chip lunch before we get down to the Christmas high jinks. Another meal is also on the cards for 16th February 2017 when it has been suggested we go to the Ferryboat Inn at Felixstowe Ferry.

If you're new to the village, are of the feminine gender, and are wondering how you can become part of this new community you're entering why not join the Kirton and Falkenham Women's Institute. We're a lively bunch, have been growing recently and are always looking for new members of all ages. We meet every second Thursday of the month at 2pm in the village hall. Here we are entertained by a variety of speakers on subjects ranging from Suffolk Murders to Costume Design to Transcendental Meditation (see above). Those are just examples taken from this year's programme. There are always eats provided on a rota basis by members.

JUNE REPORT 2016
On June 9th a lady should have been coming to speak to us about the charity Debra (www.debra.org.uk). Unfortunately, on the morning of the meeting she phoned to say her car had broken down so she would not be able to make it. This meant that, for the second time in just a few months, we found ourselves without a speaker. Fortunately Edna knew something about the subject of the proposed talk and so was able to give us a short summary while, for the purpose of this write-up, I've also done a little research.

MARCH REPORT 2016
On March 5th Kirton and Falkenham WI did its bit for the 'Clean For The Queen' campaign, an attempt to get the country into a fit state to celebrate our monarch's ninetieth birthday which takes place on twenty first of April. The nine diligent litter pickers started work in Park Lane and then moved on to Back Road. Before they reached Guston Gardens and it had started to rain they had managed to fill twelve sacks with rubbish.
