Happy New Year, ladies!
Tomorrow’s meeting is at Wallington Hall where we will have the opportunity to discuss and find out more about the five resolutions shortlisted by the NFWI, then cast our votes. This discussion will be followed by a photo quiz.

It’s Ms B-Avon WI’s December’s meeting tomorrow (1st) at St Margaret’s Hall. We will be Christmas crafting! 🎄 🎅 Please bring your own mug if you’d like some mulled wine 🍷. Starting as usual at 7.30, doors open at 7.15. Visitors always welcome! #wi #boa #bradfordonavon

Update from our secretary: there is a problem with the hall heating and, although convector heaters will be provided, you might want to bring some extra layers and we will be providing drinks again (tea, coffee, wine) so please bring some change if you would like to have a drink.

@BBCRadio2 cannot stop laughing at the pigeon getting stuck in the car 🤣😂

@LuckingtonSch @Crockerton4211 he’s ok, just slightly singed eyebrows!

@ArtyBagger So special! My little boy loved every minute of his CalMac experience-from the car driving on the boat (what?!) to the mountains, the dolphins and whales and the shortbread from the cafe.

@janegarvey1 @dollyalderton I would like to add @bovril_official as a replacement for Marmote though. Much less bitter.

HELP - we've heard from a Salisbury nursery who are open for key workers' children, including many NHS staff. They're struggling to get food delivery slots. Are you an independent supplier who can step in? This nursery also really want PPE to protect staff. Anyone? @BBCWiltshire

This is an important message from the government on coronavirus.

[Wiltshire Council #WiltshireTogether @wiltscouncil]

Where possible we need people to stay at home as much as they can now. #Socialdistancing applies to adults and children and will help stop the risk of #COVID19 spreading. If we all work together we can protect our NHS and save lives #StayHomeSaveLives

[Laura McInerney @miss_mcinerney]

The NHS workforce is 77% female. Education is 79%. Supermarkets are majority women.
We are suddenly in a situation where millions of men may need to stay at home with the kids. The extent to which they can suck it up and accept the situation will be critical to all efforts.

Right, radio stations like @BBCWiltshire are going to here, live, throughout this worrying time. I’m on every morning from 9am. What do you want from me? What is most helpful? Advice, phone ins, experts? Going to do what my gut tells me is best, but also open to suggestions.

[Bradford Town F.C. @BradfordTownFC]

After a statement from the @FA all grassroots football is now suspended which includes our youth teams.

Hopefully all will be back soon but all I can say is stay safe and keep all your vulnerable family and friends safe through this tough period.
