JOIN the 2020 CELEBRATIONS

Because of the Covid-19 restrictions the vast majority of our Centenary Celebrations have unfortunately had to be postponed.  Keep an eye on our What's On page for updates.

Picture
Nearly 100 ways to celebrate 100 years - get involved with the centenary needlework panel, walk the county, make a pennant or sampler,  or a scarecrow for the Scarecrow Trail.  We will carry over to 2021 the events and competitions which we can.
Walk 100 miles for 100 years
Picture
BFWI invited you to walk "100 miles for 100 years" in and around Buckinghamshire during the course of 2020.  To help you we collated over 25 appealing walks (often circular to avoid transport problems) all over the county with an average length of about 5 miles.  While lockdown has meant many of you have had to choose to do the same walk 20 times, we may extend the programme to 2021 to allow more of us to try to ‘collect the set’ and tour the county over the course of the year!

Buckinghamshire WIs Village Book
The Bucks Federation Village Book is now in the publication process - can't wait to see it!  Federation Chairman, Pat Poole, says "Around 85 WIs have now submitted entries and we are very much looking forward to its launch at our Annual Council Meeting which has been provisionally moved to 26th May 2021.   Three other Federations have had a book about their villages compiled; the books resemble the quality of the Fodor travel books."
Centenary Pennants
Picture
Some of the most amazing needlework has gone into our 2020 pennants - these are just a few . If yours hasn’t quite begun yet you can find out the “how to” here! Centenary Pennants will travel across the county in 2020, all joined together, and will first be displayed at the 2021 Annual Council Meeting.   We have posted an album of those already received on our Facebook Photos page if you seek inspiration.    Extended Deadline date to be confirmed.
Centenary Samplers
To commemorate the 90th Anniversary of Bucks Federation many WIs created a unique sampler which fit into an A4 sleeve.  If you didn’t make one at the time, or if you are from a new WI, why not consider making one now?
