What a fantastic three days we had welcoming members from across the Federation. It feel such a long time since we held this event but we were delighted by the response. Bacon and sausage barms, mince pies, mulled wine, Archives and Art and Crafts exhibits and demonstrations plus lots of house tours meant that each day the house was bustling. Many of our members were visiting for the first time – hopefully not the last.

Thank you so much for the many people who were involved in organising and running the events. It was really appreciated.

Members are more than welcome to call into the House during opening hours for a drink or bring your lunch. Alternatively, arrange a WI outing and we can arrange a Federation Trustee to meet you.
