Dec/Jan

CHAIRMAN’S COLUMN:

I fear I am repeating myself when I say, ‘well, what a year’.

To say it has been challenging is an understatement, but WIs are meeting once again and that is something we can be grateful for.

The friendships forged through our meetings is invaluable and has continued to shine through as we have dealt with the change in the ways we have all been living our lives.

I know we are all grateful to our WI committee members who have kept everyone informed – and I add my personal thanks to them for volunteering their time to organise meetings and pass on information from the Federation and our national office.

I also take this opportunity to thank the Federation volunteers – trustees, WI advisers and members of the events committee, who have all been working hard to get things going again.

Lots of activities are planned for 2022 and we hope there will be something for everyone to enjoy. But as we always say, we want to hear what you – the members – would like to do, so please get in touch.

Finally, thanks to our Federation secretary Sue who keeps everything going in the office and I know she has been pleased to see the events taking place once more, meaning she is kept busy with bookings.

So as we close the door on 2021, we look forward to what will hopefully be a happier and brighter year.

Martin Luther King Jr said: “If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”

We must all move forward and working together we can do just that.

There is a lot to look forward to and I am looking forward to meeting up with more of you.

Until then, I wish you all a very happy festive season and New Year

Chairman of Lincolnshire North Federation of WIs
