Link GroupShadforth WI is part of a Link Group with Blackhall, Dalton-le-Dale and Newton Hall WIs (previously Castle Eden, Easington Village and South Hetton WIs).
Link Groups exist to ensure that all institutes are represented at the annual NFWI AGM. In rotation, a member from the Link Group attends the NFWI AGM on behalf of the other group members. This person votes on the Resolutions as instructed by each WI in their group. After the AGM they report back, in person or in writing, to each of the WIs in the group.
Many institutes in Durham County are linked together in smaller friendship "Groups". They usually meet within this group twice a year, each institute taking it in turn to host a get-together. These offer a chance to catch up with news from the other institutes and usually have a speaker, a talk from a DCFWI WI Advisor, competitions, social time and entertainment, for example the plays that Shadforth WI enjoyed performing to entertain visitors.
