WOMEN TO WOMEN FOR PEACE

INTERNATIONAL NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2011


Dear Peace-loving Women,

Our celebrations are nearly over. The travelling exhibition has been very well received so far and has only two more sites to visit; York in September and Brighton in October. We enjoyed hosting many of you in different parts of the country in August and had a very special two days in London when some of us were fortunate enough to meet you and get to know each other. We went on river trips on the Thames. Some of us visited Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. Others went on the London Eye, and some travelled on the top of double-decker buses on sight seeing trips. A few of us straddled the Meridian line. We had wonderful meals together and feel that the whole enterprise was a success. We hope that those of you involved also feel the same.

Miranda, from Brighton came with her cameras to London and is making a video of the occasion. If some of you would like a copy of this video when it is complete please let us know and we will send one to you.

We are now looking to the future and not yet sure of our direction. We are meeting in Noddfa in North Wales in November and we will make decisions about our future activities. On our last night in London we met to discuss our hopes and fears for the future. It was a very interesting evening and we learned a lot about what we are all hoping for. If you have suggestions we’d be very pleased to hear them.

It looks as if the dreadful situation in Libya may be nearing its end. Let’s hope there can be some form of reconciliation rather than recrimination. We can only hope that the fighting in Afghanistan will soon come to an end though I think the situation there will be little better than it was when we decided to invade. All those precious lives lost and all in vain. Will we ever learn?

We would be very pleased to receive some feedback from you, both about the thirty year celebrations and about what you would like us to include in the International Newsletter. In the meantime we hope that you will have a very pleasant autumn and we will get in touch again just before Christmas.

With very best wishes,

Glennis & Magda
