Anne Rodwell (Great Doddington Evening WI)
With Easter fast approaching the Federation team are working on trips, workshops and events for this spring and summer that we hope will interest as many of you as possible. Do get in touch if you have any other ideas that our members might like to get involved in. We are holding extra Coffee Mornings here at WI House during the year, focusing on different aspects of WI interests. (Dates to follow). We will also be having a Northants WI presence at the International Women’s Day event, on 9 March at The Guildhall, Northampton between 11am and 3pm. Do come and see us – look out for the green and purple WI Hoodies!
BIG NEWS Your WI will shortly be receiving County Raffle Tickets, to be sold to all. With a first prize of £500 we are sure everyone will want to take part! Anne

County Raffle
We are giving you a fantastic opportunity to WIN £500, as well as help raise funds for NCFWI, as we launch our County Raffle. We have lots of other superb prizes for you to win too, including afternoon tea at some great locations across the county, a family pass to Stowe Gardens, hampers, wine and vouchers.
Tickets are with your secretary and can be sold to non-members, although you may want to buy them yourself to have a better chance of winning the top prize. Good luck! All revenue, stubs and unsold tickets must be returned to WI House by 21st June 2024. Get Lucky!

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.

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!
