Do you like the idea of going on a Denman Course?

Are you one of the people who would love to go on a fabulous course at our very own WI college, Denman? Worried about the cost? Here is your chance! You could be lucky enough to win a bursary: 

This is a tad early, but a very good idea, all the same:

Here are some County events for the Autumn:

Our County Trustees

Six Brixham members joined the County trip to Hampton Court

As you can see the 6 of us had a really "miserable"  time on our Hampton Court trip............ 😄
It was an excellent two days. We stopped in Lacock for several hours on the way and Annie and I spent a good two hours in the abbey which was fascinating as we were able to talk to many of the volunteers, then tea in the gardens of the oldest pub where we joined two Galmpton members. The hotel was excellent and the 6 of us went for a quick swim before dinner. The food was first class,  served starter, excellent carvery, served desert then coffee and much laughter!
Really excellent brekkie before off to Hampton Court where we met these guys who hailed us with  " hello WI ladies" and decided to join our photo shoot sitting right infront of my carefully selected Welcome to Hampton Court Flower Show sign!!  We all had a great day and even the lengthy journey home went unnoticed as we had so many laughs,  Beryl said that she ached all the next day!   

Interested in brewing and beer? This could be for you!

CWGC Living Memory Project

CWGC Living Memory Project

The NFWI has been contacted by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) to invite WIs to get involved in its new Living Memory project which is running throughout Summer and Autumn 2016.  The Living Memory project is offering funding and resources to community groups to enable them to visit and remember those buried in local sites in the UK throughout the centenary of the Somme from 1July – 18 November 2016. 

Of the 300,000 war graves or commemorations that are cared for by the CWGC here in the UK 2,000 belong to women who died while serving in the two World Wars. The CWGC have produced resources to help WIs identify a CWGC site near them, do some research about some of those buried in that site and stage a commemorative event – in their own way and reflecting their own interests – to remember those who lost their lives in the 141 days of the Somme.
