District Committee Meeting on Zoom on November 26th 2020
While we all prefer to be in the same room as those we are meeting, Zoom has provided the opportunity for the District Meeting to take place as planned with all D6 Clubs invited to participate.
Reports were sent out beforehand and delegates were able to ask questions and give their views. Many dressed in festive garments and toasted the District with a glass at the end.
With all best wishes to you and to your club members at this strange time.
District 6 Chairman Margaret

A message from Breast Cancer Haven
As the Covid-19 crisis continues to affect each and every one of us, I’d like to send my very best wishes to you and your loved ones.
Although the past few months have presented significant challenges , Breast Cancer Haven have expanded their online provision with classes and running support groups and one-to-one support over the phone as well as virtually.
This means that despite the temporary closure of centres clients can still access the complementary programme of support BCH has to offer, meaning that anyone facing breast cancer is not alone.
Without your continued support this would not be possible.
This has been taken from a letter sent to me by Sally Hall CEO, of Breast Cancer Haven.
Thank you for helping me support Breast Cancer Haven.
Yours in friendship
Claire 2019/2020 District 6 Chairman
District Chairman Claire and her husband, the High Baliff of Henley-in-Arden, are joining together to help fight climate change by planting trees.
Over 100 members from across District 6 came together to take part in the District Meeting and enjoy a lovely lunch. Clubs put on a seasonal retail opportunity with stalls providing lots of items to buy and win, all proceeds going to charities.
IW members from across D6 enjoyed a lovely get togther at the District Rally recently. Speakers from both of Chairman Claire's charities spoke about their work and we were delighted to welcome guests from other organisations including our national IW Chairman Enid.
Members from District 6 at the national get together to help train and inform new Officers. A very useful learning event!
The IW national Conference in Cardiff was well attended by members from District 6 who had a very enjoyable time.
There were inspiring speakers such as Ed Pratt who circled the world on a Unicycle to raise money for the School in a Bag charity, charity presentations including one from Hope and Home given by a woman who had been an abandoned orphan herself and business sessions including our Annual General Meeting. All of this was sprinkled with entertainment and music, and we finished off the last night dancing to the Amazing Blues Brothers. Join us next year in Belfast if you can!
Our IIW 3-year Social Project in this country is Period Poverty - Dignity for Women and Girls. We are working closely with charities, schools, women's refuges, and supermarkets to highight the issues.
