Chairman's News: May 2024
Anne Rodwell (Great Doddington Evening WI)
Following all the WI AGMs across the county I would like to send best wishes to
new Committee members and Chairmen, Treasurers and Secretaries. You are doing a great job supporting your WI. I really hope you feel appreciated.
Have you thought about inviting some of the Federation Trustees along to one of your meetings? We can’t promise scintillating with and wisdom, but we love meeting members in their own WI setting, to chat, compare stories, answer questions if we can, and give you up to date news on how our Federation is running. Do think about it, and contact me or Jackie at WI House if you want to find out more

Our January Annual get-together of Trustees and sub-committee members is always enjoyable and this year was no exception. Its a joy to meet up with long standing friends and make plans for the coming WI year.
Membership is not exclusive and we welcome others who may like to join in and help us, whether it be for a couple of hours or longer, all members are welcome.

Wonderful for the 2023 Annual Breakfast to take place with Officers and sub-committee members meeting up with such enthusiasm for the Federation. Better times are on the horizon!
WIs all over Northamptonshire regularly support Cynthia Spencer and Cransley Hospices with cakes.
Thanks to Blisworth WI for supporting the Cynthia Spencer Hospice Christmas Fayre with a donation of delicious cakes.
Ten members of Milton Malsor & Collingtree WI supported a lunch at ‘The Lane Restaurant’ at Northampton College; it was a convivial occasion with good food and service by the catering students.
The Christmas Coffee Morning at WI House was so well supported, we ran out of chairs!
Great atmosphere and lots of lovely Christmas jumpers worn.
