Hi there from Fulham WI- new WIs starting up in London are always great to hear about!


We have a blog that you might want to check out- http://www.fulhamwi.org.uk. On here you also find committee contact details if you want more advice about setting up your WI.


You also might like to come along to our next meeting which will be on Mon 14th May- you'd be more than welcome.


Best wishes and good luck with it all!


Sarah

Membership Secretary, Fulham WI

I have been so busy at work that I haven't had the time to check out the threads on the forum as much as I have been doing (what is the world coming to??!)


So just got around to reading this thread from beginning to end and it left me all goose pimply, the way it picked up momentum and a real sense of community spirit - well done ladies and I hope that it's a rip roaring success.

Um... Well, I guess honesty is the best policy... So I'm really sorry for not joining you this evening - my rubbish excuse is that I forgot! All the talk at work was about the footie and it's on terrestrial and it's a really good game and I just remembered now... I hope you had a good turn out and a good evening, I'd love to hear about it. (Are WI members allowed to like football, or only jam amd stuff?)

Hi all - Great to meet you all last night - this feels great that we are actually moving forward with this. I am going to try and crack on today and phone up possible locations such as the Magdala, EDT and the idock place. Lucy - you did a great job last night - let me know when you have asked the W.I woman about coming to the next meeting as it would be good to know if we are going with Monday the 21st or if she can't make it. I am free beginning of June so we could always all meet then and that would give us pletny more time to get things such as the location, website, blog and list of names going.



If you have time to post up a few notes that would be fab then everyone who could and couldn't make it can catch up.

One thing we should have done last night and didn't was go round the group and introduce ourselves a bit more - got names but it would be great to have a bit of background on everyone. We should definitely do that at the next meeting.

Hi Katie


I've posted another thread with some notes about the meeting. Let us know how you do re venues. Once we have that and the day sorted, I'll get in contact with the WI.


I'm also going to get in contact with the other WIs, to see if they can give us some more info about the 3 roles. It's all a bit vague at the moment!


Cheers


Lucy

    • Avoid companies that are run by non trades people Seems to be the trend lately. Check them on Companies house first. There are some great family companies or sole traders. LMQ Roofing 07860 467708 [email protected] ANR Roofing 08009330439 Fist on my list is Liam McQueen https://www.lmqroofingservices.com/ Honest, reliable, constant updates, proper written quotes professional and lovely polite workers. Great work. Also though we did not use them in the end ANR Roofing based in Wimbledon offered some sound advice and quote.  Also very lovely family run firm. And Crest Roofing based in EC1V 2NX came and gave a quote and seemed very lovely with some advice also. 07934 975769
    • Had a terrible experience with this company recently. Their rooofers were abusive and really not nice. Simple job to remove an aerial which we knew would mostly cost in scaffold turned into a nightmare, They dug up old rotten boards in our front garden (there for beetles) and use under the scaffold. When we questioned the positioning of the scaffold (we needed it down the side and not on top of plants and garden) I received a torrent of offensive teenage sexist shouting. The main guy doing this was called Jimmy. They did eventually remove the aerial (no tools to do so I had to supply) They told us the side of the hip needed new timbers and re-roofing. We'd recently had it inspected and it looked good (I'm a carpenter by trade and went and looked at rafters inside - no issue. They seemed to take offense at my carpentry knowledge also. They pulled ridge tile off then told us it would be 3200 to repair!! Stood on a non load bearing lead canopy and more.  Left cooked food and rubbish in garden, Just avoid them is my advice.One of an ever increasing number of firms owned not by trades people who subcontract and pay the scaffolders pennies. I'll do recommendations in another post!  
    • I live locally and am on Lordship Lane and North Cross Road most days. I've never been forced into traffic, or noticed any problem in any of these places! I appreciate that might be different with a buggy or mobility aid. I like to see people enjoying themselves outside. 
    • It's good that you've never personally had to experience poison being left but it is a known fact in this area. It's not fly tipping - people leave food out for foxes but there are also people who purposefully leave food out to kill animals.
