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.
