WI Memberships (?)

I’m a regular WI member. A good way to get a response is to look online for the email address of your County WI they should get things moving.

I love my WI and have made some great friends and enjoy our meetings. However there has been some major upset nationwide, which may not affect you but has upset many of us. The National Federation of WIs has accepted transwomen (whether they have fully transitioned or not) into the WI without giving the members a vote on this even though we are supposed to be democratic. I am in a small village WI and it is unlikely we will get any transwomen. Some of us have written to National about our concern but to be honest they were unhelpful and refuse to discuss the subject other than to say if we don’t like it we can leave!

I do hope I haven’t put you off as for the most part it is a great group to join. If you find an Institute you want to try out I suggest you email the President and ask her to designate someone to meet and introduce you to the others. I do this as a ‘welcomer’for our WI.

If you have any other questions do let me know.

Numbers are falling everywhere .

That was to OP.

Exactly this.

That’s unfortunate NanaTuesday is there a phone number? if so, I would ring and explain you’ve sent an email, who knows what’s going on in people's lives, I’d give them another chance.
