Well its all done and dusted. In general the day went well. Binegar WI members attended and I think enjoyed the day. I have yet to hear what they thought!!! (Ruth wrote a funny poem afterwards - but she has agreed to come on committee!!)

The speakers were excellent. We were joined by Dato Ursula Goh, World President from Sarawak, Malaysia, May Kidd and Elsie Brown from Scoltland, Anphia Grobler from South Africa, Maria Zagorski from Bulgaria and Rose Rajbansee and her friend Yolande from Trinidad and Tobago. A truly international day. Letters of thanks have been pouring in from Scotland, Surrey, Hampshire, Gwent and lots of WIs who appreciated the opportunity to attend a gathering of so many women from such a variety of different countries to celebrate together and learn lots more about ACWW from those who have travelled to monitor projects in third world countries. Some of their experiences were truly humbling!!! Keep collecting those COINS for FRIENDSHIP!! (Thanks to Sylvia Reed for pictures 1 and 2.)
