As our meeting this month took place during the latest Covid 19 lockdown we sadly had to report that all of our planned outings had had to be cancelled so the visit to Trinity House and Guided Walk to Crystal Place will, hopefully be rearranged for a later date.
We went through our regular meeting business and Caroline noted that the NFWI Resolutions have now been agreed and that we can now vote on our preferred option either by post or email so Catford WI’s choice can be registered.
Our presentation this month was given by one of our own resident experts, Caroline, who talked about the art of making Jams, Jellies and Preserves, the differences between them and gave us all useful tips on how to go about making jam from all varieties of fruit. We are now all well versed in recognising a rolling boil and why we should put saucers in the freezer before beginning the task.
The second part of the evening’s presentation was a short film from Karrie from the Scilly Isles who showed us how to use spare buttons to make a variety of greetings cards.
To enhance our new ‘virtual’ world both presentations are now available on our YouTube channel.
The evening ended with a couple of rounds of Bingo with, of course, pots of homemade Jam as the prizes.
