For our June meeting we had the chance to look back at the
history of the WI as well as taking a
trip down memory lane to look back at the history of our very own Buns & Roses.
Lucy gave the group an informative talk on how and when the
WI was formed (It was founded in 1897 in Ontario Canada fact fans but in the UK
it was founded in 1915 at Llanfair PG, on Anglesey, North Wales).
We also
looked back at the history of Denman College and how it was formed as well as
the West Yorkshire federation which was founded back in 1983 – with the first
meeting of the new federation being held at a coffee shop in Pudsey as the new
offices weren’t ready. After that we moved forward to five years ago when our very
own Buns & Roses was formed upstairs at Mojos by Zoe, Gloria, Georgiana and
Hayley.
