Chairman's News: July and August 2024
Anne Rodwell (Great Doddington Evening WI)

I am writing this following a visit to London last week for the National Federation of WIs Annual Meeting. 5000 WI members from all over the country converged on the Royal Albert Hall (and the steps of the memorial across the road at lunchtime!) for a truly memorable event. In this month's newsletter there’s a report on the day written by Jane Ward, President of Hackleton and District WI.
Hope you have remembered that Northants Trustees are looking forward to coming to WI meetings, if you are let down by a Speaker or have a gap in your schedule do get in touch with WI Office and we will fill that spot for you.
PLEASE let there be a bit of sunshine through July and August so that we can all get out and about and enjoy each other’s company at WI events and days out!

Our monthly walks in various parts of the county are much enjoyed by all. Click for more information.
Afterwards, we enjoy a sociable lunch, sometimes at a pub, sometimes at a local WI.

In June, we travelled to the Royal Albert Hall for the best ever AGM of the National Federation of WIs.  Along with the usual annual reports, the conference had an underlying theme relating to our resolution "violence against women". We heard three tremendous speakers. As well as the serious side of the AGM, we all enjoy meeting fellow WI friends whether they are from our own county or further afield. A great experience all round.

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.
