News from Devon Federation of WIs, Environment and Rural Affairs

 

Hello – Due to Covid 19 as you are all aware very little activity has taken place by this committee and indeed all of our scheduled events for the year had to be cancelled.  We do hope to pick some of these up next year, but of course that is yet to be known.  In particular we would like to try to put on the Kick the Plastic Habit event as we had arranged some very interesting people as speakers.  

We are bringing you this new idea of a short newsletter to keep you informed of some of the issues we are currently interested in.  

Centenary Challenge

Just before lockdown we were pleased to receive 97 out of the 100 target of WIs that were interested in taking part in this challenge.  We do realise that nothing much will have happened since then.  This challenge will now run on for another year, giving everyone time to participate the way they had planned.  Of course there is still time to apply and the items in this letter may inspire some new ideas.  

Application forms are still available from Jackie.bufton@btinternet.com. 

There are some lovely prizes for category winners,including cash prizes and a beautiful silver rose bowl for the overall winning submission


Poetry competition.

DFWI is hoping to collate a number of poems from members from around the county into a small booklet. Looking for poems on the following themes: 

Plastic

British wildlife, birds or flowers, 

Litter or waste. 

In addition, pencil or ink drawings, black and white only, are invited for the booklet. 

To be submitted by 31st December 2020.
