Annual meeting of national WI
Leek Post and Times
|June 18, 2025
THE Women's Institute celebrated its 110th year with two celebrity entrepreneurs speaking at its National Annual Meeting; Emma Bridgewater and Angel Strawbridge - both being supporters of the WI.
-
It was held online with thousands of members able to access proceedings.
Staffordshire Federation of Women's Institutes held a Watch Party at Philanthropy House in Stafford where the Annual Meeting was live-streamed from London. Delegates and Observers from across Staffordshire came together to hear the speakers and follow the debates - with delicious refreshments.
Tea - cups and the drink - wove through the speakers' stories with Emma Bridgewater telling how she wanted a pretty cup and saucer for her mother and found that there was a gap in the market which she eventually filled with her beautiful and practical designs. Emma has designed a mug to celebrate the WI's 110th anniversary using colours and images reflecting its history.
