Belvedere WI Group Meetings
This Group is still happening and meets twice a year with members from 6 other WIs in our area. Each WI takes it in turn to host the meeting. For information about these meetings please contact Alexis Swain, tel: 01392 833353 There is always a speaker or demonstration to begin with followed by tea, a competition at one of the two meetings, and an opportunity for a chat. In July a lunch is usually held in the Belvedere Group Secretary's garden to raise money for the Belvedere Group Funds.

Dunchideock Annual Charity Lunch
WI members supported the Dunchideock Annual Charity Lunch which has taken place in the Village Hall. A different charity is chosen each year. The Charity Lunch is well supported by the local community and other villages nearby.
WI Members' Lunch
Once a year all the members went out for lunch at a local restaurant of their choice.

NFWI Resolution Meetings
WI members nationally are invited annually to put forward a range of issues for national debate at the NFWI AGM, which, if passed, go on to become the mandates that form the basis of the organisation’s campaigning and awareness-raising activities in the future. As a unique organisation, the resolution process means that members play a central role in defining policy and bringing issues onto the WI's national agenda; this ensures that the entire process is wholly democratic. As the WI is the largest women's organisation in the UK, resolutions discussed and passed at the NFWI Annual Conference may have a significant influence on UK national decisions.
