Portstewart WI members meet up for a New Year
The President of Portstewart Women’s Institute, Helen Jamieson, welcomed members to the January meeting and wished them all a Happy New Year.
She then referred to the death of Mrs Joan Christie, Past Executive Member for Lower Bann and past Lord Lieutenant of Antrim.
Helen also referred to the death of member Heather Green’s mother, who had also passed away. Sympathy was extended to both families and members stood as a mark of respect. Good wishes were sent to Susan Lyons for a speedy recovery to good health.
After the minutes had been read, arrangements were made for the annual dinner in February. Members settled down to making cards with Helen and everyone produced a nice card to take home.
The Quiz followed and the winners were Alison Lamont, Joan Wright, Emma Lyons and Dorothy Sinclair (Reserve). They will go forward to represent the Institute at Area Level. The competition for ‘An Energy Saving Tip’ was won jointly by Dorothy Sinclair and Joan Wright.
