Happy Birthday to Queen Elizabeth II
Sadly, Annie who was going to run our Belly Dancing session on Tuesday is unwell, so we have therefore arranged for Alan Freke from Frenchay Museum to join us to talk about Frederick Denison Maurice who had the ambition to provide education for women. See you on Tues at 7:30pm!
Great style workshop from Gail Painter from Not Givin In. Great to find out which style personality we each have and where to shop!
Hi ladies, don't forget it's meeting night! We are joined by Gail with her style talk which sounds fab. Don't forget to bring your mug, blister packs, stamps. Looking forward to seeing you!
Today we're celebrating 125 years of the WI movement! 🥳 On 19 February 1897, the WI was founded in Stoney Creek, Ontario. It was 18 years before the WI came to Britain in 1915. We are proud to be part of this incredible women's movement as it reaches this milestone! 💚
