Celebration of Chinese New Year at a member's home near Louth. Feb 2025
What a wonderful time we all had, celebrating the Chinese New Year in such a very welcoming home.  It was marvellous to see so many of our IWA friends taking up the invitation.  What a delightful story of how the Chinese Zodiac originated, presented with a great deal of humour and enthusiasm.  Needless to mention the fantastic array of dishes that was displayed for everyone to enjoy.  IWA members and some partners made it a very special celebration filled with warmth, gaiety and positivity. The organisers are very heartened by the huge show of support from the gaily-attired friends, (in red/shades of red as per the dress code request].  Everyone did look very joyous, bright and happy in their outfits. 
A big thank you to our hostess, supporters and everyone else that contributed, for the tremendous efforts which made this event such a terrific success. 

Early 2025 -We have launched a Knitting group.

On Saturday 8th September 2023 several of us made a trip to Haddon Hall in Derbyshire, a most beautiful medieval house and gardens. We learned more about the architecture and history with an excellent guided tour. We are thankful for the legacy from a late member which contributed to the expences and to GC for organising this super day out.

On Saturday 22nd April we reinstated our annual Soup Lunch, a fund raising event that has been greatly missed in the last three years. There was a wonderful turnout on a lovely day at a member's home in Louth. The weather was kind so many people enjoyed the sunshine outside. There was a delicious variety of soups, with bread and homemade scones. Many thanks to our hostess, contributers and helpers. The event raised in excess of £100 for Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF).
