Lisa C
What made you join Cam City WI?
​
The Brancaster trip was so much fun, I wanted to expand my WI horizons with all the lovely ladies. So I knew a second WI was inevitable after that (my home WI is Castle) and CamCity's Wednesday worked with my diary… plus I'm not sure Bronwyn or Lisa would've let me not join!
​
Who inspires you and why?
​
Anyone who gets on and does it. It doesn't matter whether that's join a WI, learn a new craft, climb a mountain or a jog round the park. Do it, don't talk it.
​
What's your philosophy?
​
In so far as I have one: Do as you would be done by.

​
If you had a million pounds, what would you do with it?
Do with a million - pay off mortgages, travel, fund libraries/buy kids books
Do for a million - play the lottery!
​
What's on your bucket list?
Well, if I had a bucket list, I'd tell you.​
​
What would your ideal day entail?
A walk up a hill or three with friends, in sunshine, with packed lunches, landing back at a pub for a restorative pint. And in summer, if there happened to be a tea shop or ice cream place along the way, all the better.
