Come along and meet us at Eastbury Manor House as we celebrate 100 years of the WI

 This year marks the 100 year anniversary of the Women's Institute. 

     To mark the event, the First Ladies are holding an anniversary celebration at our regular meeting venue, Eastbury Manor House, hosted by the Borough of Barking and Dagenham, who are celebrating their 50 year anniversary.

     There will be lots going on, including craft stalls, cream teas, activities for children and much more. Entry to Barking and Dagenham residents is free!

      We hope we will see lots of you there!

 

Summer holidays!

The First Ladies are on holiday! We have no meeting in August so that members can holiday to their hearts content! Hope the weather is kind to us!

Our next meeting will be in September, when our guest speaker will be Mel Reese, author and publisher. His talk is a light-hearted look at life and the trials and tribulations it brings. http://www.trouser-press.biz/

However, that doesn't mean we won't be busy! 

We have the Barking and Dagenham Community day on 25th July at Parsloes Park.https://www.lbbd.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/One-Borough-Community-Day.pdf

We'll be manning a stall packed with goodies, including baked goods, craft items and a tombola, always a favourite.  We'll be there from 11am to 5pm, but the fun goes on till 10pm with live music and lots more. 

Come along and see us, see what we get up to and maybe you'll be inspired to come along to one of meetings. 

Whatever you're doing over the summer holidays, have fun, relax and we'll see you in September!
