5W Events

Gatherings and Local Groups

 Gatherings - What are They....?
.....they  are usually arranged by groups of members in their home town and extend an invitation to members to attend from  all around the world..

Gatherings can last for several days, in a school or similar venue. They have an informal programme of events - maybe visits to local places of interest, theatre, projects, etc - but with plenty of time to talk to other women and perhaps to arrange visits to one another following the Gathering.

Each Gathering has an individual character, depending on the location, the size and the organisers.
