6/6/2015 0 Comments Centenary Annual MeetingThe Royal Albert Hall filled with 5,000 WI members for the Centenary National Annual Meeting at the Royal Albert Hall in London. One delegate was sent to the meeting free of charge to represent 3 WIs - their own and two other local ones. BVWI did not have anyone in attendance this year as we were represented by the delegate from Abbey Gates WI. We did however, get to see all the goings on at the RAH as we watched live streaming of the event at Cineworld in Nottingham city centre. Mary, Judy, Brenda, Carol & Kay went along to see HRH Queen Elizabeth II formally open the meeting accompanied by Sophie, Countess of Wessex and the Princess Royal.
The resolution debate was a very lively affair which ended in a motion to move on and not actually have a vote. The three speakers were very inspiring women - Lucy Worsley Tanni Grey-Thompson and Helena Morrissey. The Baton ended its 18,000 mile journey and was handed over to the Queen almost exactly a year after we had it in the village.
