INTERNATIONAL Women's Week is a time when women's issues can be brought to the fore and provides an opportunity for women to meet and take part in events which help to bring them closer and understand each other's lives.

This year, the week runs from Saturday, March 1, to Sunday, March 9. If you or your organisation wish to take part in the programme of events, to offer workshops, talks or anything you feel would interest women, you are invited to add your event to the programme which is being put together now.

You can contact Shahla Holgeth for an event at Emmanuelle Hall on 07931 983318, or just come along to a planning meeting at The Greenhouse, 2 Northwood Crescent, Deane, on January 28 at 11am. For other events, contact Lorraine Povah on 334066.
