🤫 You could hear a pin drop at Monday’s members’ meeting!
Hannah Bird, Cyber Crime Prevention & Protection Officer with Dorset Police, had an almost capacity audience absolutely captivated as she shared practical advice on staying safe online.
Although not the liveliest of subjects, Hannah delivered her talk in such an engaging and entertaining way that even our most confident internet users came away with new tips and valuable information. 💻🔒
It was a hugely informative evening, made even better by seeing so many Belles together and welcoming 11 visitors! 💙
The feedback was wonderfully positive, so we’re keeping our fingers crossed that our visitors enjoyed the evening enough to come back and join us again!
Fancy finding out more about Christchurch Belles WI and what we get up to? You’d be very welcome! 😊
Members’ meetings are held on the third Monday of the month, 7:30-9:30pm, at Druitt Hall, Christchurch High Street, BH23 1AJ. Please contact us to arrange a visit: 📧 [email protected]

In the Express Paper and online today “Hundreds of MPs are backing the campaign for compensation and the public clearly want to see this resolved too. WASPI has always said we are ready to work pragmatically with the Government on a solution that is fair to WASPI women and the taxpayer. We now need the Prime Minister to sit down with us and turn those words into action.” Read the whole article here: https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/2256280/andy-burnham-waspi-women/amp

🦋 Crafty Belles! 🦋
Belles got together for another fun-filled crafting session, creating beautiful dragonfly and butterfly charms. There was plenty of creativity, lots of lovely results — and, of course, plenty of laughter along the way! 💕✨
Crafting is just one of the many activities Belles enjoy, alongside our monthly members’ meetings, where we always have the opportunity to learn something new, meet new people and enjoy each other’s company.
If you fancy joining us and finding out what the Belles are all about, we’d love to hear from you! 🌸

Come along and be part of the fun! 🦋💐

Wandering Belles!
☀️ A group of us enjoyed the late summer weather on Saturday, revelling in the beautiful views around Tuckton and Hengistbury Head, followed, of course, by a cuppa and a natter! ☕️ 🍰 😎
