Centenary Celebrations 2015 100 Years of the WI! To mark the Centenary of the WI in 2015, many special activities and projects took place, nationally, regionally and locally. Here are some examples: WI Centenary Baton The Centenary Baton (top right) is travelled around the individual WI Federations that make up the National Federation of WIs: those in England, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Its journey took place during 2014-15 and came to an end at the Centenary AGM at the Royal Albert Hall in London, in June 2015. The Baton came to Durham County Federation between 22nd March - 6th April 2014. See file attached below for complete route timetable.
