The WI team

President

Mags Fuller
About me: I moved to South Milford in 1997 but flitted off here and there, Australia for a couple of years, Solihull (not quite so glam) for a couple more, but always ended up back in the village! 2 children later and I feel very much part of the great community here! Been looking after WI membership this year and we've exceeded 50 but always looking for more so come and join and save Caroline and I pounding the streets next January!!
Fav cake: Dawn's Millionaire's Shortbread
Heroines: My friends Patty B and Kate - strong, generous, kind and brave.
 

Secretary

Caroline Dulson
About me: I love all things arty and crafty and will do almost anything for a good slab of cake and a cup of tea! Happiest when I'm pottering in the garden, painting with my children or drinking gin and tonic with friends. Joining the SMWI has at least covered one of these!
Fav cake: Any that I didn't have to make or wash up after.
Heroines: Mary Poppins (for the amazing bag)
 

Treasurer

Claire Thomas
About me: As a newcomer to South Milford, mum of 2 and an electrical engineer I joined the WI as a way to meet people and to get a bit of female (grown up) company! So far so good...
Fav cake: My Grandma’s praline filled with lots of Cadbury’s Flake
Heroines: Margot Fonteyn and Jacqueline Du Pre
 

Committee

Suzanne Cawood
About me: Having stepped down as President, I am looking forward to being able to spend more time relaxing with our members during meetings! Still looking after the hall bookings though so I'm sure my children will continue to associate the WI with lots of phone calls! Meanwhile, our webmaster, (my husband) is enjoying having someone else to chase for website material.
Fav cake: Coffee cake with orange icing.
Heroines: Emily Bronte (for Wuthering Heights), Emily Pankhurst (everyone should vote) and Philippa, Comtesse de Sevigny (an obscure one that).
 

Committee

Zoë Holdsworth
About me: I'm originally a dancer/dance teacher (many moons ago now though). I'm now a busy mum who's always up for learning new skills and making new friends, and the WI is the best place to do just that.
Fav cake: There's only one, and that's CHOCOLATE! mmmmmmm!
Heroines: Both my Grandma's who managed to do so much with so little.
 

Committee

Miriam Hurley
About me: As a full time mum to two boys and general right hand woman to my husbands business, I decided
to join the WI to get a little more female perspective in my life. Not sure what I've let myself in for but it sounds like jolly good fun.
Fav cake: Mmmmm cake
Heroines: Princess Leia (I'm a huge sci-fi geek)
 

Committee

Pauline Nesbitt
About me: I really must learn to say no! Not sure that is going to happen though after 30 years in the village and having worn several 'hats' along the way. I strongly believe that if you live in a village you should get involved & what better way than with the WI? Jam and Jerusalem? Yes, we can do that if you wish, but I prefer our shared experiences, laughs, discussions and yes, hard work along with the odd glass of wine.
Fav cake: None, but I love liquorice.
Heroines: Kate Adie and Orla Guerin
 

Committee

Pat Scott
About me: As the most senior member of the team in years if not in rank I attempt to kerb the wilder schemes of these enterprising youngsters –usually without success! I am a retired Home Economics teacher (still ranting about the demise of my subject in schools -don't get me started). I am happiest when pottering in the garden and have what my family regard as an obsessive attachment to my compost bins and their squishy contents.
Fav cake: Rich fruit cake with lots of marzipan - Christmas, Birthday, Fridays any excuse will do. Oh, and Suzanne's chocolate crunch, we all look forward to committee meeting at her house!
Heroines: Mo Molem and Aung San Suu Kyi (leader of the Burmese democracy movement)
 

Committee

Lisa Underdown
About me: I’m always a busy bee on the go! I love spending time with my 2 children, family & friends. I have worked in a hotel for 15 yrs where I became a good organiser and great socialite! It is my first year with the SMWI which I am enjoying being a part of.
Fav cake: Carrot or Chocolate but would prefer a BIG packet of kettle chips any day!
Heroines: Fern Cotton & Davina McCall - I just love funny, down to earth ladies that are good role models (even though they have not always been saints!) They use their celeb status to help charities and good causes.
