Women's exchange in March

Lots of interest in the women's visit in March! Applications being sorted out in Palestine. Meanwhile in Britain, we've now heard back from lots of twinning groups and it's exciting that so many want to be involved in the women's visit!    The geography of interested groups is possible - we can include you all - we're talking about the north-west, north Wales, mid-Wales, the midlands, London - it can work!

We'd like to repeat the invitation to those groups to meet or speak to the UK/ Palestinian women's links people during this upcoming leaders' training, and opportunities are...

• during next weekend in the Lake District
• during the conference on 20th December in London
• a Skype conference call at 5.30 on Thursday 18th December (this means that the Welsh groups who are furthest away can be involved too.)

Next stages... We are now getting in touch with the partner groups in Palestine to finalise the group of visitors quickly so we have plenty of time for visas with no stress; there will be lots of discussion about the visit during this leaders' training; we will be in touch with each of you (after the leaders' visit, so in the new year) to sort out a programme that suits all of us and get this in place!

Groups who've asked us to bring people from their Palestinian partner places:

Pendle

Llanidloes

Northampton

Hackney*

Others who've asked to be involved:

Bangor

Camarthen

Knighton  

Worcester

South East London

Tower Hamlets*

Look forward to working with you all
