Cam City WI
Inspiring Women
Gillian W - Treasurer
What do you do for fun?/Hobbies and interests?
​
Reading books about people killing each another (war literature/non-fiction, detective fiction)
​
How did you get involved in the WI?
​
I saw a poster for a new WI starting and because, being married, I don't any longer need a social life which includes men I thought I would join up.
Why did you join the committee?
​
Because I always end up on the committee - I am fated to go through life being on committees.
What is your favourite thing about the WI?
​
Being able to enjoy my crazy fellow members rather than having to try and keep order amongst the lunatics (see question about what I do)
What is your worst habit?
​
Daydreaming when I should be appreciating the here and now.
Who would you most like to meet and why?
​
I would like to meet my (now deceased) grandparents again, to talk to them now that I am an adult.
What is your craft?
​
I am a confirmed craft refusenik (feel free to take this as a challenge, crafty people!)
What is/are your guilty pleasure(s)?
​
Eating a bar of Fry's peppermint cream in front of Location, Location, Location.
What are your committee responsibilities?
​
I am the Treasurer (I look after the money so that means I don't get asked to do anything else - this is the kind of thing I have learnt from experience at being on committees...)
What do you do?
​
I am an administrator in an academic department at the University of Cambridge.
What is your poison?
​
Gin, gin, gin, there is ONLY gin.
