Annual Report

1st April 2022 to 31st March 2023

FEDERATION CHAIR’S REPORT By Erika Brichta

It has been a very busy year, both for me and the federation team. Personally, I loved every minute of it! Between the end of October 2022 and the end of March 2023 I managed to visit 19 WIs bringing the total visited since October 2021 to 61. I did not make it easy on myself as I was out of the country visiting family for two of those months.

I absolutely loved visiting our WIs and was made to feel very welcome. It is wonderful that each WI has its own identity, no two being the same but all linked by the WI ethos.

I have met inspiring women, courageous women, funny women, talented women and kind and caring women and together they make West Sussex Federation of WIs so very special and a wonderful organisation to belong to.

I took on a challenge in March to raise awareness of the signs of Ovarian Cancer and to walk 100 km (about 62.14 mi) raising money for ovarian action cancer research.

Our campaign was to hang knicker bunting across the federation during the month of March and to produce an information card giving details of the subtle signs of ovarian cancer. The campaign attracted much attention and publicity, certainly in my own village, Storrington, you could barely turn a corner without seeing a pair of knickers. That was mainly due to the fantastic support of Angela Reynolds and her band of seamstresses from West Chiltington WI.

A total of £2871.75 was raised for the Ovarian Cancer charity so thank you to all those WIs and individuals who supported me in my challenge. I hope we can rehang the bunting next March and maybe encourage more WIs to take part.

In my last report I asked members to introduce a friend to the WI. Every day we receive requests via the NFWI website for information about how women can join the WI. Do approach the woman who has just moved near you and tell her about the WI. It can be very daunting to turn up at a meeting when you don’t know anyone, so a personal invitation can be very special and appreciated.

My unreserved thanks go to my fellow officers, federation trustees, the adviser team and our staff members all of whom work very hard to support the federation and our members

Federation Chair, Erika Brichta

BOARD OF TRUSTEES

The Board of Trustees met eleven times by hybrid meetings, at North Lodge and via Zoom. At the board meeting after the close of the FAM, on the 20th of October 2022 officers were elected as follows: Federation Chair – Erika Brichta. Federation Vice Chair, Lesley Boardman. Federation Vice Chair, Karen Yates. Hon Federation Treasurer: Yvonne Price.

Trustees: Sue Carter, Gwen Cole, Fiona Edgington, Deb Ruse and Ros Williams. During the year Fiona O’Leary was co-opted as a trustee.

103rd FEDERATION ANNUAL MEETING

The meeting was held via Zoom from North Lodge. Erika Brichta (Federation Chair) hosted the meeting.

The 103rd Federation Annual Meeting took place by Zoom on Thursday 20th October 2022. A special welcome began by introducing the Board of Trustees and Federation Advisers. Sally Brown, Federation Secretary was introduced. No tellers were appointed for the meeting as the intention was for voting to be taken by Zoom poll.

The Chairman proposed the record of the last Federation Annual Meeting be taken as read. This was passed by the delegates. The Chairman then proposed the adoption of the standing orders, also passed by the delegates. The delegates then agreed the adoption of the Annual Report. Yvonne Price presented the report for the financial year, ending 31st March 2022. The adoption of the accounts was proposed by Helen Twine of Washington WI and seconded by Jane Farrow from East Grinstead Meridian WI. It was also proposed and agreed by the delegates that Jones Avens Ltd, Chartered Accountants, remain as auditors for the year 2021/2022. Federation announcements and awards, including WIs celebrating special birthdays were celebrated. The 300 Club winners were announced.

The Calendar Competition winner for the WSFWI 2023 calendar was Sue Novis, member of Horsham North Heath WI. Sue was congratulated for being the overall Calendar Competition winner. Al Menzies was thanked for co-ordinating the competition and overseeing the production of the federation calendar.

Guest Speaker, Dr Charlotte Hopkins was welcomed to the meeting and gave a very interesting talk entitled ‘Being a Woman in Medicine’ which members enjoyed. A Q & A session followed. Closing speeches and thanks concluded the 103rd West Sussex Federation Annual Meeting.

Sally Brown Federation Secretary & WSFWI Permanent Officer

TEAM REPORTS FOR THE YEAR 1 APRIL 2022 - 31 MARCH 2023

EVENTS TEAM

The Events Team met monthly on Zoom to plan events for WSFWI. The Events Team coordinates all WSFWI events as some of the other Teams were included into this team during Covid.

3

In April 2022 there was a walk for ACWW around Arundel, organised by Jan Marsden. S&L organised New Age Kurling, the Events Team organised a Photography walk with Bluebells in Slindon Woods.

The Woodland Adventure Day was postponed. The numbers on the walks were low, but enjoyed by all that took part.

In May there was another ACWW walk around Bramber with Jan; the money raised was sent to ACWW, S&L organised Scrabble Doubles and Membership and Training held online IT workshops. These events were well received by the members that attended.

In June some members attended the NFWI AM in Liverpool, and some joined online.

Jan Marsden organised Sussex Day, a three-speaker event with a ploughman’s lunch using the cheeses from High Weald Dairy where the third speaker came from. The other speakers were from the National Park talking about Dark Skies and a local historian whose subject was Sussex myths and folklore. It was a busy and interesting day.

In July, Jan also organised a successful Ocean Day event, this took place on a very warm day. It was a really informative and interesting event.

In August the Quiz was held in person for the first time since 2019. After running the quiz for a number of years Judy Wilson handed over its running to Jan Marsden and Karen Yates and took a well-earned rest. We were supported by Carol Smith and various members of Judy’s team and some new helpers too. A couple of WIs provided refreshments.

There were only two venues as the one in Burgess Hill had become too expensive to book. The turn-out was good and members seemed to enjoy being together. The weather was warm, which allowed the rooms to be well ventilated. In the evening Sue Carter ran an online version.

Jan Marsden and Lesley Boardman organised a walk from Pulborough to Wiggonholt Common.

In September the Faberdashery and Cream Tea was due to take place on the 16th, WI Day, however due to the mourning period for HM The Queen it was postponed until October 7[th] , when some of the wardrobe items from North Lodge were sold along with members’ donations and a cream tea was enjoyed.

In October, the WSFWI Annual meeting took place virtually, Dr Charlotte Hopkins, Interim Chief Medical Officer, University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust was the speaker.

In November an event entitled Not the Annual meeting was held at the Chequer Mead theatre in East Grinstead. This event had a flower demonstration with the arrangements being raffled afterwards. The second speaker was Ruth Rogers who spoke about being a Warhorse puppeteer. There was another raffle, a selection of sales tables and the baskets that are traditionally sold at the AM. WI members were very inventive and generous with these baskets and the timing meant a lot were purchased for Christmas presents. The whole team were involved in organising this event which was well supported Yvonne Price stepped in as host as Federation Chair, Erika Brichta was unwell.

4

In December a tree was planted outside the Village Hall in Singleton and East Dean, this was in honour of the Queen’s Jubilee Canopy and was sourced by Lesley Boardman after much consideration about its appeal in different seasons. There is a plaque at the base.

The Combined Arts Team held the Carols, the venue was moved from Chichester cathedral to St Michael’s and All Angels, Lancing due to low bookings and the high costs of the cathedral. The music and readings were a great start to the festive period. The choir was in good voice.

Tea and JubyLee cakes were served in the adjacent hall. These are special cakes made by special people in a bakery in Thakeham.

In January we had booked Felicity Jennings to do an online Craft-along, but bookings were too low to cover costs and the event was cancelled.

In February, S&L held a Table Tennis Tournament at Fittleworth.

In March, we celebrated International Women’s Day on the 8th, at Tangmere. We had 4 Inspiring Speakers and Erika Brichta presented 10 Inspirational West Sussex Women with a Certificate and flowers. Due to overnight snow, not everyone was able to attend so some certificates were presented at WI meetings.

Chair: Karen Yates

MEMBERSHIP & TRAINING TEAM

The Membership & Training team has continued to support our WIs, but sadly several WIs have suspended during the 22-23 membership year. Melanie Careless retired as an Adviser in December 2022 after many years’ service. Chris Hodges and Jacky Barugh started their adviser training in September 2022, which will complete in April 2023, with appointment in May 2023. Both Chris and Jacky have accompanied other advisers to various meetings to widen their experience and have been instrumental in the setting up of the two new WIs in Worthing and Wittering.

Yvonne Price continued as M&T Team Leader, and the team have been joined by Fiona O’Leary from Scaynes Hill WI as a prospective Adviser. Our meetings are planned as hybrid to offer flexibility and we continue to use Zoom for both meetings and for training and information sessions. The adviser groups have been reallocated to reflect our newer Advisers, and we keep in touch and offer advice and support.

Online Resolution sessions were held, and member delegates were again able to represent their WIs by attending the NFWI Annual Meeting in Cardiff in-person and online. Online “Coffee & Chat” sessions have been held every couple of months to answer queries and to offer advice on a particular topic. A full day of Speakers Interviewing sessions was held successfully in 2023 after a long break. The WIs coped well with the change in their Annual Meeting months to February and March, and this will continue. The M&T team are keen to explore new locations for WIs and to look at different models for WI membership.

Team: Yvonne Bee, Sue Carter, Fiona Edgington, Chris Hodges, Jacky Barugh, Sue Midgeley, Fiona O’Leary.

Chair: Yvonne Price

SPORT & LEISURE TEAM

The Sport and Leisure team have continued to offer activities to members throughout the year. Members’ participation has been slow to build after Covid restrictions were lifted and some activities have not gone ahead due to low numbers which make them financially unviable. These have mainly been Scrabble and board games and we are hopeful that WIs are offering these to members within their groups. It has been suggested that WIs form geographically based leagues to encourage more socialising.

Table Tennis, New Age Kurling and Petanque have gone ahead. The reintroduction of the original booking system alongside Eventbrite has had positive results and we look forward to increased numbers at future events.

Our small team of five share lots of experience and skills to support our programme and it would be sad for the federation to lose their expertise. Fittleworth Village Hall have been very supportive in accepting that our bookings have required last-minute alterations and we thank them for their understanding. We look forward to offering members opportunities at future events and thank you for your support.

Chair: Lesley Boardman

Digital, Media and Public Relations Team

January 2022 – March 2023

The Federation Digital, Media and Public Relations (DMPR) Team had its first online meeting in January 2022, with Sue Carter as DMPR Team Leader. The DMPR terms of reference brought together all of the functions of the federation that fit under this broad banner, including Data Protection, Microsoft 365, email accounts for federation and WI business, West Sussex News Newsletter, social media, Website, digital tools for ticketing and online meetings, Public Relations and promoting the WI, and necessary support and policies underpinning all of these. The DMPR team has met quarterly online via Zoom since forming and has members from across West Sussex – including WI members with a self-confessed lack of expert knowledge, essential to keep the work of DMPR grounded!

The first few meetings focused on the ‘urgent and important’, undertaking an audit to ensure that the federation is compliant with all recommended good practice for digital and data security, has a named Data Protection Officer, and has policies in place such as Privacy Notice and Digital Policy. Early priority was also to promote the benefits of free digital tools for WIs such as a Federation Microsoft 365 account and email address. As new WIs are formed in West Sussex, they are each provided with a Federation Microsoft 365 and email account and the number of WIs with a dedicated Federation Microsoft 365 and email account has now reached 17, with many other WIs having a dedicated email account through Gmail. Rollout of federation email accounts to more WIs is continuing at a steady pace but is slowed by the limited capacity of the small number of federation volunteers able to use their general digital and work experience to support WIs with implementation and queries, and it is hoped that more dedicated and professional IT support can be commissioned by the Federation in the future.

6

The Media and Public Relations elements of the DMPR remit will be focused on next, so that we use every opportunity to increase the public profile and awareness of the WI in West Sussex through engaging proactively with online, print, radio and even TV media. The federation currently has a Facebook Community Page, and ideally in future would like to consider other social media such as Instagram to ensure that the WI has a profile and reach to as wide a range of women in West Sussex as possible, but needs a larger group of social media volunteers able to post engaging content about our West Sussex WI activities on a regular basis. If you are interested in any aspect of DMPR, social media or a federation email account please contact the Federation Secretary who will pass on your details, we would love to hear from you.

Chair: Sue Carter

Public Affairs Report

I would like to say a big thank to the Team. For their support, knowledge and ideas over the past year. Our meetings are always educational and fun.

We cover many topics, such as the upkeep and sustainability of maintaining Bramber Beeches which incorporates the maintenance of the site. Bramber Beeches is situated on the West Sussex Downs and is a beautiful, wooded area planted for walks. Bramber Beeches has been maintained by the WI for some years. The Public Affairs Team discussed how to promote the woodland and try and encourage WIs to visit and form a working party to help maintain the site.

Our Resolution on Ovarian Cancer and how it could be promoted was discussed. It was suggested that ‘knicker bunting’ be made and on the other reverse side of the bunting used promote cervical screening. This culminated in knicker bunting being displayed all over West Sussex.

International Women’s Day was held on the 8[th] March with the theme being ‘Break the Bias’. In the morning our speakers were all WI members. Sara Mayheads, former Military Police Officer spoke to us about her experience working at Roussillon Barracks in Chichester. Zoe Mann told us about the trials and tribulations encountered whilst trekking to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and Nicky Amos Chair of NFWI Public Affairs Committee inspired us to challenge ourselves and to identify resolutions that we could take forward. In the afternoon we were treated to a spectacular trip through the universe with Jane Green a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Our Team consists of: Geraldine Dandridge, Jacky Barugh, Erika Brichta, Angela Honeywood, Maureen O’Grady and Yvonne Price.

Chair: Fiona Edgington

Associated County Women of the World

West Sussex Federation has continued its membership with Associated Country Women of the World and WIs, and their members, raise funds directly for ACWW. A federation Walk the World event was held at Arundel.

7

ACWW rebranded as Rural Women in Action and revitalised its structure in 2022 to manage its service better and have a broader impact on the women it helps.

Pennies for Friendship and Women Empowerment Funds, funding individual projects of choice, ended. Funds are now allocated by ACWW for projects within the remit Education and Community Development, and Smart Agriculture. In addition, funds are used to enable partnership working and making sure the voice of rural women is heard within key relevant organisations and governments.

The ACWW representative vacancy remains open. ACWW launched an additional Member society and ACWW link role, which provides better communication and training: ACWW Coordinators. This role is vacant and WI members interested should contact our federation Chair.

WALKING NETBALL IN WEST SUSSEX

England Netball have been supporting the programme since 2018 and continue to do so although, because of numbers creating a hub of say 3 or 4 WI's is the option that will give longevity to a group.

Once accepted with a possible venue in mind, and most importantly a WN host, who will be trained by England Netball over the course of a day, the kit will then be delivered by the West Sussex England Netball representative, on the agreed start date, and the group will be up and running. We currently have 5 WI groups running in West Sussex although there are many other independent groups running in the County at local leisure centres as popularity continues to grow. Three WI groups have taken part in Walking Netball Festivals over the last year which are great fun.

For more information and videos look under sport and wellbeing on My WI website.
