Well I have emailed the W.I as they say to contact them in order to get help on setting one up in an area where there isn't one. It is definitely something I cannot take on on my own but there is indeed a lot of interest and possibly there would be others with more time. Let's see what the W.I say?

Hello! this is the N1WI.


Thanks, Katie, for getting in touch.


You will find it all really fun, and a v. worthwhile, friendly (etc) thing to be involved in. It's worth looking up Fulham's website, too, as they are young and have a good take on things.


If you are keen to chat about the logistics, etc., then let me know and we can meet up. By coincidence, think I work v near katiesa, so hopefully will be able to meet up and talk about it. Otherwise, fire away with questions and will try my best to answer them. And anyone who fancies it, we are doing burlesque dancing for our meeting tonight, 6.45 in Florence Tavern, just off Upper Street, N1. Visitors always very welcome!

Ok - The W.I have been in touch and have said to contact The Surrey Federation (as this County covers all of inner

London based WI enquiries) on: 01483 233 230

Email Jo Vooght at: [email protected]


Katie from the Islington W.I has also said that she would be happy to help/advise.


At this point I am now snowed down at work and have tons to get on with so reluctantly cannot dedicate time to this. If anyone that is reading this forum can that would be great as there is definitely call for it.

I'd be happy to give Jo a ring. Perhaps the best way to proceed after that would be to meet for a glass of wine/ coffee and discuss how to take it further. A committee style affair, rather than one person taking on all the responsibilities?


If everyone who would be up for meeting and getting involved could get in touch by the end of the day...we could then discuss a possible meeting. Good idea?

Here's another link that's quite interesting...

How about having our first informal meeting at Green and Blue, Monday night at 8pm? Anyone who's interested can come along. Although, I'd hate it if it was just me! Conversation might be a bit slow....

I could do Tuesday. I think they have a special offer on bottles of wine drunk in G&B on a Tuesday night, so could save some cash at the same time. I can only make it for an hour or so, but I'm sure this will be fine to get an idea of what we should be doing (and have a nice glass of vino).

      Is Starmer soon to be toast?

      By malumbu · Posted

      Fair point. But this is the same Starmer, as I said before, that was seen to be the adult in the room pre-election, following the recent run of chancers, crazies and failures?  I really think the demonisation of him is wrong and it seems to be an epidemic. Johnson got away with things because he was this funny clown.  May was seen to be wooden but didn't attract the same backlash and she facked up Brexit. I saw Corbyn speak as a back bencher and he was excellent.  Didn't make him a great leader.  What would are country have looked like if Brown had got in.  Another person demonised by the media due to his bank manager persona. Yes, I get it, that we lampoon our politicians, based on some of their personal characteristics.  Life was so much more fun during the original series of Spitting Image,  Many politicians loved their send ups.  Some even bought the models/puppets.  Blair was first seen as a little school boy sitting between Prescot in his boiler suit, and Becket perhaps unfairly characterised.  Not sure how they'd send him up as a (alleged) war criminal....  Just concerned that we are now so shallow in considering politics. Anyway, it is not just Starmer, it is his party, in particular his advisors. But perhaps give him a break.

      Forest Hill station closed due to fire in close proximity

      Thats very sad..they're a lovely local buisness and coming up to Christmas trading too. I witnessed the fire from outside the cordon and there were huge flames leaping into the air..I could'nt tell which shop it was exactly but I did hear a guy telling someone it started in the hairdressers then spread really quickly to the back of the bike shop. So much respect for the brave firefighters I saw running to help and wishing all of them a safe evening.

      Finches, apparently, sadly, the bike shop and outdoor adventures. Was on my way to the Walrus on Perry Vale, had to go the long way.  Loads of fire crew and cops.

      It might just be the element, they are often easier to replace than you might think. You can find videos on youtube and websites like espares stock them.
