Katiesa Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 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?

kittenheels Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Can't wait to hear all about it. Anything N1 can do, we can do better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spymum Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Well done Katiesa!!I'd be happy to help out! I am sure that a funky East Dulwich WI would be hugely popular. spymum(Blog: Posh Mum) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieb Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 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!xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfy Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Katesia, if you need any help, please let me know. Bree Van der Kamp I ain't, but I could certainly help do something I'm sure. PM me if that's easier...(my real name is Lucy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missd Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 This sounds great katesia -would definitely be up for this. In terms of organising am happy to help out too. Am sitting an exam in the middle of June so manic until then, but after that, for sure. Anything i can do, let me know -similarly pm me too if you want.

Katiesa Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Ok - The W.I have been in touch and have said to contact The Surrey Federation (as this County covers all of innerLondon based WI enquiries) on: 01483 233 230Email 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfy Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elfy Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Here's another link that's quite interesting...http://www.marmaladya.com/islington/features/about-and-out/how-start-womens-institute/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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboarder Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hi - I could make monday.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittenheels Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hello ladies, I'm on for Monday too, but can't stay long or drink too much as I start a brand new job the next morning and must be a picture of health and enthusiasm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katiesa Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Sorry to be a pain but can anyone make Tuesday instead? and maybe a bit earlier say 7pm as that is when I would be walking back from work???? Also Katie (N1WI) could you make it along too to share advice and tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfy Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 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).

Katiesa Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Great - anyone else - 7pm in G&B? An hour will definitely be fine - may be on the coffee myself. We will have to work out how to identify each other - I'll be the one in the cath kidston apron and matching rubber gloves!!!
