Book Lovers!

Something of interest here! 

 Dartmouth Book Festival is back — and this year’s line-up mixes national names with plenty of stories rooted firmly in Devon.

Michael Rosen, Patrick Gale and former Chancellor Jeremy Hunt are among the speakers, while local and regional authors will explore everything from the River Dart to Dartmoor folklore and traditions.

There’s also a new pop-up festival bookshop, author signings and an expanded children’s programme at Dartmouth Academy.

Which event would be first on your list?

Calendar and a very useful course!

 What’s on? For each and every one of our Brixham WI members!

So many comments overheard recently have lead me to highlight this Via session! Time to take action and learn more about your own phone! 

A new strategy from the WI

 Today, on WI Day, NFWI launch our new 4-year strategy, and we have 2 clear visions that will guide us as we move forward.

The first is our commitment to connection. We believe in a world where communities are diverse, connected and thriving; with opportunities for individual and collective growth - and where women have the chance to work together and grow their networks.

The second is influence. We believe a big part of our growth as women are the skills, knowledge, and opportunity to work together to influence positive change. It is this collective power and the hope that it brings, which are the foundations on which our WIs, our communities and each of us individuals, succeed.

Take the Western Lady?

 A message from Jo: 

Ladies just to make you aware there will be roadworks up near the golf club for the next 7 weeks.  People are already experiencing delays,  just be mindful if you are planning any journeys

What’s on + more inspiration!

 

Surely no-one can say they have no inspiration for October’s craft exhibition! 

A Grand Day Out in Plymouth

 Three went for a grand day out on the bus to visit some of the decorated lighthouses in Plymouth, and had a lot of fun!
