LUNCH AT SANDBURN HALL, FLAXTON, YORK

FRIDAY 15 JUNE, 12.00 noon

SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER, DAME JILL BLACK

Although it is 100 years since women got the vote in this country, we are still talking about

women gaining full gender equality. Our speaker is a very inspirational woman in a male-

dominated world - The Right Honourable Lady Black of Derwent DBE is one of only two female

Supreme Court Judges in the UK.

Who is Dame Jill Black?

Dame Jill Black began her legal career when she left Durham

University. She was called to the Bar in 1976 where she

specialised in Family Law. In 1994, at the age of 40, she

became a QC and in 1996 was appointed a deputy High Court

judge. In 1999 she was appointed to the High Court and

received the DBE. In 2010 she became a Lady Justice in the

Court of Appeal and was appointed to the Privy Council. In October of last year, Lady Justice

Black became the second female judge of the Supreme Court which was a significant landmark

for women in law. She is married to a fellow Court of Appeal judge and lists sewing and walking

amongst her hobbies. She has a son and a daughter and enjoys spending time with them and her

grandchildren.

Cost: £25.00 for a two course lunch + tea/coffee - members only.Special Booking form

Chairman’s chat

Hello Everyone, I hope that you are all feeling a little warmer - the March weather held a few surprises, shocks for some causing so many plans to be cancelled. We tend to look at the weather where we are and presume that everyone is experiencing the same but as we are such a large geographical area this is not so. Please, if you are experiencing difficulties at any time let us know at the Office, so that we can rally round and help. Let’s hope that the weather for Scarborough and the Spring Council Meeting will be pleasant. I received an appeal from the Navel and Military Club asking for donations for a Memorial for some 1500 VADs and Nurses who gave their lives in the 1st and 2nd World Wars. The memorial - a globe supported by a pair of hands will be placed in the National Memorial Arboretum. As a Charity we are prevented from donating, but personal donations can be made to The Nursing Memorial Appeal, Naval and Military Club. No 4 St James Square London SW1Y4JU. I only mention this as some of you may have lost loved ones in these conflicts and wish to honour them; as a nurse myself I admire the courage of these women and feel that it is right that their sacrifice should be acknowledged. I look forward to seeing you in Scarborough. Jennie Potter

The Magic of Radio - Radio waves may be generated naturally (by lightning or astronomical objects) or artificially. Artificially generated radio waves are used for fixed and mobile radio communication, broadcasting, radar and other navigating systems, communications satellites, computer networks and many other applications. They travel at the speed of light and have similar characteristics. Radio waves are generated artificially by radio transmitters and received by radio receivers. Long waves can “spread” around obstacles like mountains and follow the contours of the earth (ground waves); shorter waves can reflect off the ionosphere and return to earth beyond the horizon (skywaves). The ionosphere is a layer in the upper atmosphere, formed by sunlight on air molecules. Much shorter waves “bend” very little so their distance of travel is as far as the eye can see. The transmission of radio waves is strictly regulated in law by an international body. The existence of radio waves was first predicted in 1867 by a Scottish mathematician who compared the wave-like nature of light with similarities in electricity and magnetism. Radiowaves do not cause changes in molecules as they have insufficient energy; thus they do not make or break chemical bonds. Neither can they cause changes in the body’s DNA. They can have a heating effect, but most are relatively minor. Thus, in radio, we have an area of science which we take for granted every day of our lives. Radio enables communication, without a single piece of wire or cable with the Antipodes from our armchair. Magic! Climate Ambassador – Aynsley Halligan

By the time you read this, (I presume and hope) the recent snow will be just a memory. However, I thought it might be a good idea to make a comment about the connection between this and climate change. Some sadly misguided cynics may think that the extreme cold weather validates their denial of global warming. It is, in fact, just the reverse. You can take it from the best scientific authorities that it is largely a consequence of the warming Arctic. Sir John Lawton (President of the Institution of Environmental Sciences and of the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust amongst other things) kindly provided this quote in early March: “The Arctic is currently showing extraordinary warming with temperatures some 20 degrees C and more above the long term average for this time of year, and is certainly the result of man-made climate change. Extraordinary warmth at the top of the world appears to have profound consequences for atmospheric circulation elsewhere around the globe, and the evidence strongly suggests that the huge blast of cold air sweeping west across Russia and Europe is one consequence of this disturbance. Remember, calling climate change ‘global warming’ is profoundly simplistic. Yes, on average the planet is warming alarmingly, but because Earth is not a perfectly smooth, uniform sphere (it has oceans, continents and mountains), atmospheric circulation patterns are complicated, and can shift in unexpected ways, giving

rise not just to average ‘climate warming’, but to what many climate scientists now refer to as the climate becoming more extreme and strange - more extreme rainfall events, more heat waves, and yes, more extreme cold at unexpected times.” My gratitude to Sir John for his quote. Please note that we are looking forward to hearing more from him at a Federation meeting on climate change in February next year.

ACWW – Barbara Capaldi

Resolution Adviser - Glenis Wedzicha

The Resolution voted by a majority of members via WI Life from the shortlist of five was as follows: Mental health matters Mental health matters as much as physical health. The NFWI urges all WI members to recognise the importance of parity between mental health and physical health, and take action to make it as acceptable to talk about mental health issues as much as physical health issues, and to lobby government for better support for mental illness. It is now time to arrange speakers to discuss this issue at your monthly meeting. For the first time in some years we will have only one Resolution to debate at the National AM in June. Your vote counts. Make sure you are well informed can discuss and use your vote. A range of resources are available to support discussions about the resolution on My WI under Public Affairs & Campaigns, from the Office or the NFWI Public Affairs Committee. The resolution will also be discussed at our Federation Annual Spring Council Meeting in Scarborough on 18 April.

RECENTLY IN OUR FEDERATION…

Visits to Denman

I had the good fortune to attend Denman College on a bursary to do a course on Cheese making. I have since given a few talks to my local WIs on making cheese at home and my experience of Denman. I returned to Denman in March 2017 for a further cheese making course. In September, I entered a competition to be the people’s judge at the International Cheese Awards held at Nantwich in July 2018. I won - so I am going to the show at Nantwich to be a judge. Here is the link to the website www.internationalcheeseawards.co.uk/ Deirdre Burchell, Wheldrake

It was a question of “Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained”, so I duly followed the instructions in WI Life and applied for a Denman Bursary! No one was more surprised than me when an e-mail popped up in my inbox saying I had been successful. Having been with our Federation previously, surrounded with people I knew, I was a little apprehensive about going it alone. I should have known better; as soon as I arrived there were smiles and welcomes all round. My three day course was called, “Drawing for the Terrified”, with artist, Richard Box. All ten on the course were true beginners. We had been told to take two apples, two oranges, two onions and a small bunch of grapes! Equipment was limited to two pencils, and six coloured pencils. We were all stunned with the results. I had not appreciated how many shades there were in an apple, etc. Never having had a “proper” drawing lesson before and starting with the absolute basics was brilliant. I had a lovely room, (Norfolk Poppy), lovely food and great company. The perfect way to break up the gloomy winter months! Margaret Ellison, Sowerby

Fun, Food & Fitness, 24 February

On behalf of all attendees to this session, may I thank all involved for a thoroughly enjoyable morning at Swainby last Saturday. We were split into three groups and allocated to a tutor for the first of the three activities available. The activities were Yoga, a Cookery Demonstration and a Quiz. The cookery demonstration, presented by Janice, involved her showing us how to make four easy, healthy dishes, which we were then able to taste. All were delicious - I have already made two of the recipes at home!! The quiz challenged us to consider the amounts of sugar and fats in a number of given foods. The winners were given a bag of vegetables. Our yoga tutor made everyone feel comfortable and confident to participate in the practise even if they had not tried yoga before. The relaxation at the end of the session was welcomed by all. Shirley Cook, Crathorne

Computer expert, Janice, also an expert cook, To prepare a 4 course meal she 30 minutes took! Rice and fish and cheese and pork were all delicious on the fork. The aim was healthy eating with fat and sugar free The tasting at the end of course was simply ecstasy!

Barbara had a quiz which tested what we knew About the food we eat - of sugar, fat and goo! We found it wasn’t very much but quite a lot of fun. The answers right were minimal - we were lucky to get one. The winners took the prize of veg - they were the clever ones.

‘Twas then upstairs to yoga with Gill from Hinderwell She didn’t hinder us at all and we were treated well. Our creaking backs and shoulders were given a good stretch Then socks and coats for warmth we had to fetch. Relaxation at the end included flashing lights And waking at the end we felt it all had been just right. Marian Codling, Sowerby

Heworth was recently entertained by Veronica Bird OBE. Veronica was born in Barnsley and was one of nine children. After serving with the Police Force for four years she joined the Prison Service. During her 35 years she worked at some of Britain’s top prisons, including Armley and Brixton, and encountered many of our most notorious villains – Myra Hindley and Charles Bronson – to name but two. Her experience led to her being invited to Russia to help sort out their prisons. It was after this she was awarded the OBE. Veronica gives talks to a variety of groups and all profits go to her chosen charities. She has recently had published a book about her remarkable life. Brenda Batty Picture shows Janice Whiteford, President, admiring Vernonica’s OBE medal.

Local Infants School benefits from WI Crafternoon Efforts

A unique community project bridging the gap between young and old. Members from Middleton, Aislaby and Wrelton Crafternoon Group teamed together to knit and crochet animals to fill a home sewn story sack for one of the Nursery's favourite winter stories ' One Snowy Night' by Nick Butterworth. This project not only benefits the local Nursery but makes a link between young and old hopefully encouraging mums and other family members to join their local WI. A most enjoyable afternoon was had at Pickering Community Infants and Nursery School with members of the WI reading the story and handing out the animals to the children before having refreshments with the Headteacher Mrs Gillam.
