 Have you ever thought of joining the Women's Institute? The modern WI plays a unique role in providing women with educational opportunities and the chance to build new skills, take part in a wide variety of activities and to campaign on issues that matter to them and their communities.  www.thewi.org.uk will tell you all about the WI nationwide.
