Report on Women’s Network conference

Lynne and Alison were at the Moving and Travelling On conference organised jointly by Women’s Network and the World Federation of Methodist and Uniting Church Women held at Swanwick in Derbyshire from 16-18 April. It was an excellent, well-attended, well-organised event. The keynote speaker, Rev Nicola Vidamour, led 5 Bible studies and there were opportunities to join creative workshops and informative seminars around the theme.

There was a Magnet stall and a great deal of interest in the Magnet story of moving to independence. Delegates took away back copies of the magazine to spread the word further to people who may not be aware of it. Books supplied by Conversare and poster sets by Posters for Change sold well.

Two new trustees needed

We areĀ  advertising for two new trustees to join the board to oversee and develop our work. We are particularly interested in people with design, PR, fundraising or volunteer management skills and experience. There is background information and an application form in the volunteer > trustee section of the website. The closing date is 5pm on Wednesday 5 May with interviews to be held on Wednesday 19 May. Do contact Lynne on 01279 658768 or email lynne@ourmagnet.co.uk for an informal conversation or further information about the role. This is an exciting time to join us and we welcome applications from people with the skills and enthusiasm to help us reach out into other ecumenical markets and forge relationships with others whose aims and ethos are compatible.

Magnet at Women’s Network conference

Lynne and Alison will be at the Women’s Network ‘Moving and Travelling On’ conference at Swanwick from 16 to 18 April with a Magnet stand and also selling resources on behalf of Conversare and Posters for Change. The continuing connection with Women’s Network is very important to us and we support them as they move on to become Methodist Women in Britain in collaboration with the World Federation of Methodist and Uniting Church Women.

Invoicing update

Following the invoices sent out by Felicity, Warners belatedly sent their own version. Thank you to those who have phoned to make us aware of this. The correct thing to do is to pay the first invoice with a cheque payable to Magnet Resources and post it to Felicity Shakespeare, Magnet Resources, PO Box 10378, Bishop’s Stortford CM23 9FT. Please ignore the second invoice. We apologise for this duplication and confusion.
