BATH SHOPPING TRIP Friday 23 November 2018 (SOLD OUT) We will once again be running our popular shopping trip to Bath. The Christmas market will be open and it is also Black Friday, so there should be plenty of bargains to be had.
The coach will leave The Spa on Dorchester Road at 8.30. We can also pick up in
Dorchester at Tesco. The coach will leave Bath at 5 pm and we should be home by
around 7 pm. The trip is open to members and also friends, so feel
free to invite friends along. We have managed to keep the price the same as the
last 3 years so it is still £15. I think you’ll agree that is good value. BOOK CLUBS WeyBay supports three book clubs. They meet regularly to review the suggested books - and enjoy a good chat with other members. Ask at the WeyBay meeting about joining one of these groups - or setting up your own. DORCHESTER LITERARY FESTIVAL 2018 This is the third year of the Dorchester Literary Festival and the second year that Spa book club has visited. This is their review. Jeremy Vine’s talk ‘What I Learnt: What My Listeners Say – and why we should take notice’, was funny and entertaining. He cleverly anticipated a question about the Welsh guy who put him on the spot about his high salary by playing the recording before he could be challenged. Other speakers that went down well this year were Judy Murray ‘Knowing the Score’, in conversation with Alexandra Heminsley. She gave an amusing address on how she brought up two tennis stars and about her time on Strictly Come Dancing and Mark Austin TV journalist who spoke with Kate Adie ‘And Thank You For Watching’. At the moment Spa book club are reading Adam Kay’s “This is going to Hurt” and can thoroughly recommend it. It is the true story of the author’s time as a junior doctor and is a humorous easy read. COFFEE MORNING  Thirteen WeyBay members including four new members met for the first monthly coffee morning outside the New Vic for the May coffee morning. They just walked over the road to enjoy coffee on the beach at the Boat Café. This is a monthly event meeting outside the New Vic on the first Wednesday of the month at 10.30am. All members welcome. See you there. WEYBAY LUNCH AND SUPPER CLUB
So far we have all enjoyed meeting up and having a good chat with members who we wouldn't usually talk to. It's been a good way of making new friends. There are about 30 ladies on the current list, which is now closed. In June, by which time we will have been meeting for a year, ladies can decide if they want to stay in the group. If some pull out, we will have room for some new members to join.

The WI lunch club meet every month. We are quite a large
group, but not every member turns out each month. There is a rota, so each
member takes a turn in choosing a venue.
We have had lunch or supper at some very nice pubs and restaurants. Anne
O'Neill started the ball rolling with lunch at the Ship Inn on the harbour.
Subsequent venues have been Cote in Dorchester, the Kings Arms in Portesham,
the Balti House, the Nothe Tavern, The Springhead Sutton Poyntz and the Cove
Inn Portland.
