The Speakers Sub-Committee is dedicated to maintaining the quality and diversity of the BFWI Speakers Listing, the brochure for which is published every two years.
Speakers recommended to the Committee are selected to be invited for audition at venues around the County. WI members’ written comments at these events are relied upon to determine whether a speaker is approved for entry to the Speakers Listing. Speakers are subsequently invited to renew their place in the Listing, updating their details every two years. Details of interim changes and newly approved speakers are published in BFWI News.
Speakers offering virtual presentations are now identified in the Listing.
To ensure that the standard of speakers remains high, WIs are requested to complete and submit a Speaker Report Form after each monthly meeting, whether the talk was virtual or face to face. This applies to all speakers, whether or not they have been approved for the listing. Click on the .pdf link below to download a copy.

Greatmoor - Energy from Waste in Buckinghamshire
Jez Elkin, Waste Awareness and Education Manager at Greatmoor invites you to consider a tour of their fascinating facility near Aylesbury. He says "although there's no substitute for visiting the facility itself, Gemma Green, Greatmoor's Education Manager, is willing and able to visit your WI to give a talk about their work as well as general information about recycling and food waste in the county". Gemma also promotes the Aston Clinton Household Recycling Centre and the High Wycombe Household Recycling Centre, whichever is the nearer for your WI.
If you fancy something a bit more interactive then there are a number of activities which can replace or supplement a talk. Tours are free of charge, all you need to do is get to the site.
There are 2 .pdf files below which give more information, or you can go to the websites at https://www.greatmoor.co.uk/ and https://www.buckscc.gov.uk/services/waste-and-recycling/locations/aston-clinton/ or https://www.wycombe.gov.uk/browse/Recycling-and-waste/Recycling-and-waste.aspx
