As we just had our first meeting of #2023 this week, we must say a big #ThankYou to our friends @bullsheadsw13 for hosting us every month (for the last few years) and for all their hospitality and #wine 🍷@surryfedwi #Barnes

[Barnes WI @barnes_wi]

In July, on what turned out to be one of the hottest days of the year, we had a stall at the always popular #Barnes Fair. We had a great time and sold plenty of cakes and jam! #2022review @surreyfedwi @BCA4Barnes

In the spring, after a two year delay, some of our ladies finally made a long awaited visit to @HighclereCastle which was very much enjoyed by those who went. #downtonabbey @surreyfedwi #2022review

Back in #November last year, we had a really nice evening with a local skincare and make up expert, who gave us lots of tips to get made up and highlight our features! Thanks to (formerly) @KissnMakeupTW1 @surreyfedwi #makeupartist

[Barnes WI @barnes_wi]

#Barnes WI hopes everyone had a wonderful Christmas and festive period.
(Unfortunately our planned 12 months of #Barnes WI has been delayed due to illness but we will still be sharing some highlights of #2022 with you!) #2022review @BCA4Barnes @LBRUT

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas from the WI!

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary #WomensInstitute

[Barnes WI @barnes_wi]

Our April speaker had to cancel: Sarah Slater from @HampCourtPal stepped in to talk about the “Secrets, Sex, Scandal and Salacious Gossip of the Royal Court, 1660 to 1830”, telling us tales of all the naughty bits of history we would probably not have learnt about at school!!

[Women's Institute @WomensInstitute]

Happy #InternationalWomensDay2022! The WI has been celebrating women’s voices and achievements for over 106 years, campaigning to ensure women are equally represented in public life and calling for an end to the discrimination that women face in their daily lives. #BreakTheBias

[Barnes WI @barnes_wi]
