       On a more serious note it is impossible not to notice the effects of climate change
       across  the  world  but  the  WI  is  shouting  louder  than  ever  about  protecting  our
       planet.  This  Summer  the  NFWI  was  invited  to  talk  at  the  United  Nations  2022
       Ocean Conference in Lisbon. It is the first time in many years that
 The village hall is an ideal venue for
 myny village activities   the WI has received such international recognition and it really shows the power
       of our collective voice.
       September  means  WI  Day  and  the  16th  September  is  a  chance  for  us  to
       celebrate  our  organisation,  everything  we  stand  for  and  everything  we  have
       achieved.  At  the  present  moment  the  WI  are  campaigning  on  the  issue  of
       modern slavery, stem cell donors and something close to our personal lives - do
       we become a cashless society? This may be good for the Banks but does affect
       the normal public, especially those without a Bank account.
       On the 21st of September we are celebrating a special occasion to remember
       one  of  our  dearest  members  but  a  full  article  will  appear  in  the  next  Parish
       Magazine to tell all about it.
