Tonight was our last night at Fear Hall and I can’t say anyone will be losing any sleep over it! I’ve come back from the meeting on a high. It wasn’t the best attendance we’ve ever had, but I finally feel like I’m getting to know people and we’re starting to form as a group (the Educators that I work with would be so proud of me!)
We had a mini crisis at 2pm when our speaker for the evening rang me (brave man – didn’t just email) to say he would be spending his evening with his head down the toilet so there was about 5 hours to find someone else. Unfortunately for her, Adele happened to be working in our building that afternoon and allowed herself to be persuaded to shift her talk up a bit from September to this evening (around about an hour and a half after she was due to finish work).
Mini crisis number 2 at 6.50pm when we realised Ros’s husband had driven off into the sunset without a mobile phone, but with the laptop still in his car! Poor Kate - the only person whose number we had who was close enough to home to turn around, go back, collect laptop, and walk back again to the hall so we could get the presentation equipment sorted. Still, it was Clare’s birthday so we were treated to proper W.I. chocolate cake (not made by her, she hastened to add) for our meeting, so you can’t complain.
Big news of the night is the move to our new premises!! More of that later, but don’t turn up at the Fear Hall in March....
Adele’s talk was really interesting. We got some top food hygiene tips – useful for when we’re doing a bit of W.I. baking for the masses and trying not to kill anyone, followed by some great stuff about her experience as a Food Safety Officer at Glastonbury, and some beautiful pics to go with it (although I have to say, my favourite slide was the loaf of bread with half a mouse baked into it!)
If you haven’t already joined up, I would say you don’t know what you’re missing – but now you do!!
