Welcome to Example Federation

Who are we?

We are a small federation of just 25 Institutes with a membership of around 400.

We are in a very rural area but we all manage to meet regularly by holding county events in different locations in order to involve everyone and to enable members to host events as well as attend as guests.

We always welcome new members and if you are visiting the area, or have just moved in please do visit a WI.

Our County Secretary, Paula, will be able to help you to locate your nearest group or the one which will suit you best.

Be assured that a very warm welcome awaits you in Radnorshire.

Ann Lloyd
Federation Chairman

Our Chairman's April 2024 message:

What a lovely day to be writing this message, first time being able to sit in the garden and work. It’s been a fun few weeks, lovely to see so many of you at last week’s Wales Conference in Brecon. I hope you all had a wonderful time. Powys Brecknock were wonderful hosts and a brilliant friendly venue. I found the speakers really inspirational, especially Bronwen with her vivid insight into her life with ADHD, and her brilliant rendition of ‘This is Me’ from the Greatest Showman. Could have listened to her all day. I found it an interesting format to have the varied activities in the afternoon, which allowed us to mix and chat, not just sit, and listen to a speaker and only mix for a few minutes during the intervals.

We’re now into our new WI year, let’s look forward and try to grow our WI by recruiting old and new friends to join our wonderful family and have fun getting together at the various event we have over the coming year. I’m hoping we see many of you at the forthcoming hub meetings, remember this time they’re a coffee and chat session to exchange ideas, you can ask anything you want to know, and suggest events and activities you’d like to see. I had some wonderful ideas from the Knighton hub to look into.

Hope you all have your items for the County Show coming together, the committee are working hard to ensure it’s a successful time, and we’re looking forward to getting everyone together for the day. Look forward to seeing you all there. Ann.

Our next hub meetings are in April (Knighton, Painscastle, Penybont, Presteigne) - details and other dates for your diary can be found in our latest newsletter here
