Monthly Meeting - HORNIMAN MUSEUM







HAI GUYS!

This coming Tuesday, the 25th of May, in lieu of a sit-down meeting, we shall be making a trip to the Horniman Museum in Forest Hill for a wander around all their creepy-cool exhibits and possibly a picnic (expect cupcakes). It's free (WOOP) but everyone also has the option to check out the Myths & Monsters exhibition , which is £3 entry for concessions, £2.50 if a big enough group fancies it.

We'll be meeting outside the Goldsmiths College Library at 12 pm, and getting the bus from there. It should be a blast, so y'all should come along! you can RSVP to the facebook event here.

Exciting Official Stuff

After a considerable absence from the interwebz, the WI blog is back, with a buncha business to update you on:

- We’ve elected a new committee: Catherine is our new president, with India as her vice prez, Zoe as Treasurer, Emily as Secretary and Taylor and Sofia rounding out the team as Committee Members. Essentially, we deal with the above ‘official business’, and are going to make it our mission to organize as much fun for you as possible in the coming year.

- We voted unanimously to separate from the Cray District of which we are a currently a party of and form a new London district with several other local WI’s. This links us with a younger set of WI’s in South East London with similar interests and activities.

And…

- We’re going to be expanding the Goldsmiths WI from the student union into the local area!
This will give us a bit more freedom (we’ve got our own bank account and everything), but mainly its because we’ve had TONNES of interest from gals outside of Goldsmiths since we started, and this means y’all will be able to join in the funtimes! We will remain associated with the uni, but our headquarters will be moving from the SU to the Telegraph pub in Brockley.

Meetings will be the first Monday of every month, with the notable exception of our next meeting, which is on the 25th of May. We’ve got some ace plans so make sure you pop along!
