Chairman's Message Board - March 2016
WI visits to the Firs
We are now in a position to receive members at The Firs to see the new County House, however we have to be careful not to disrupt the office work too much so the visits will have to be spread across the year and avoid obvious busy times. If your WI would like to visit can you please email the office and provide a couple of alternative dates. Please bear in mind that there are over 200 WIs in Devon and only 192 working days available in a 12 month period so you will need to be flexible and patient. We will also be considering evening visits in the summer but they will need a little more organising as this will be out of working hours.

They hope to start some Rest Centre Training shortly so if you think you might be interested in helping contact them directly, either
via the emergency planning coordinator on 01392 382 401
