CRAFT DAY - Part 2!!

The attendees at the recent Craft Day were also treated to a highly entertaining presentation from Jenny Rayment.
She delighted us with her tales of twiddling, fiddling, nipping and tucking showing us examples of her work as the story of her passion with all things patchwork unfolded. To find out more about Jennie, look at her website: https://www.jennierayment.com/

The Craft and Art Team put on a great show recently, for nearly 200 of our members ...

In the morning we had a fantastic group of ladies who modelled the beautiful dresses that had featured in by such celebrities as Kate Silverton and Molly Rainford.

Gerald Schwanzer, from DSI London https://dsi-london.com gave a great presentation taking us through how their business started, why they work on Strictly, who are only a very small part of their business - it was really interesting.

From left to right in the picture we have Alison Carragher, Karen Stanley, Nicky Clifford, Ann Watts, Amanda Collins and Clare Biddiscombe Woolgar. Don't they look amazing!!

This is a great opportunity indeed ....

On 24 April, 12.00-1.00pm, NFWI Public Affairs will be hosting a webinar on the two resolutions that have been put forward for the Annual Meeting in June; Action on Women’s Homelessness and Accessible public toilet facilities to promote dignity, health, and social inclusion.

The webinar is an excellent opportunity for members to hear from an expert speaker on each on the resolution topics and to learn more about each issue, before instructing delegates ahead of the virtual Annual Meeting.
