Thame Belles WI Committee

Our Committee

A huge welcome to new Committee member, Clare H. Congratulations to Lizzy and Clare P, our new VPs.

PRESIDENT

WELL, YOU'RE NOT BORING, THEY SAID

Ciao!My role as president is to be welcoming, listen to the members, and work with the committee to build a programme that makes folk want to be a part of Thame Belles. I'm the WI Public Affairs county chair and hope to engage the WIs with the big societal issues and to campaign for needed change. The WI is one of the best organisations I've been a part of and I've learnt so much over the last eight years and met some truly wonderful people. My passions are cooking for friends, throwing impromptu parties, reading the latest novels, dancing, dressmaking and travelling near and far. I've got South America and the Pacific Rim in my sights.

RESOLUTIONS CHAMPION

BEST TEA-MAKER

Well, hello!
I have been a Thame Belles Member and part of the committee since we began in 2015. When I am not running around after my 3 children, I like to read and being part of a book club means I often have a book on the go (even if it’s not to my taste!) and have quite a list of books I want to read - preferably in the sun on the beach! I love music and dancing in my kitchen and going to see anything live whether it’s a gig or a trip to the theatre. As a Belle I particularly enjoy our active meetings - Morris Dancing was great fun and discovering I can do craft! Over the last few years I have encouraged our members to be part of Thame Carnival and join Thame WI in their annual carol concert as part of the choir!

Val

Lovely to meet you all!

I am the Treasurer which means I am responsible for dealing with all our financial transactions and

the accounting processes.

Sarah M

SECRETARY & SUPER CRAFTER

Hi!

I have been Thame Belles's Secretary since 2016, glutton for punishment, I know. This means I type lots of agendas and minutes working closely with the president to make sure we stay within rules. As one of the three officers, I help the committee arrange our monthly meetings and ensure the smooth conduct of the WI business.

GREAT IDEAS FOR BELLES

Hello, everyone!
I'm the founder of Thame Belles and I have been president and Vice president during my time! Along with the team, I set the tone of our WI and put together ideas for the sessions. We want our members to be inspired and inspiring, enabled, motivated, and able to learn new skills together whilst having a good time!
