Raising our flag at Barking Town Hall

On Friday the First Ladies had an appointment at Barking Town Hall. We were celebrating the centenary of the Women's Institute. 

Members assembled at the front of the town hall, and showed off our flag! 

 

The flag was attached to the flagpole, and it was raised to the top. 

Members then made their way inside the chambers in the  town hall where a speech was made.

Then onto the celebration tea! Where a special cake had been waiting for our members!

And lots of cupcakes and cups of TEA!

All in all a fantastic way to celebrate the centenary of the National Federation of Women's Institutes.

Thank you to all attended.
