I’ve just signed up for my local feminists group next meeting. I need to let my frustrations and general crossness out!

DistaffSide · 03/05/2018 08:51

Ken Invite them along!

Kenworthington · 03/05/2018 17:50

I’m going to!

Writersblock2 · 04/05/2018 09:00

Just doing a little nudge to ask everyone to share on social media if they can - let's make this meeting a success!

Have shared on the local women's network as they didn't seem to know anthing about WPUk (or GRA or manFriday etc).

Share, share, share - most people don't know.

Ruth S speech from Wales is a really good quickish intro if people are up for watching a taster.

Writersblock2 · 08/05/2018 19:08

Definitely share! Everywhere! Devon pages too. We need to bump bump bump this!

Just shared fb again but I think I know a lot of non political ostriches.

MrsUnderwood · 12/05/2018 09:28

Me and my buddy are coming all the way from the South East to this. If there’s any feminists who don’t mind a 6 hour car journey with 2 salty broads you’ve never met who will probably talk about drag queens and serial killers for the entire journey, then DM me. I can pick you up on the coast route between Sussex and Cornwall.

JoanSummers · 12/05/2018 09:46

I'd like to come but I don't know if I can organise transport, mainly because I don't know what part of Cornwall it is in. @Writersblock2 is there any way I can find out the general area so I can work it out?

Writersblock2 · 12/05/2018 10:27

@MrsUnderwood - darn it, I want in on that road trip!!! Serial killers!

Hi @JoanSummers - send me a pm and we can work something out. We are debating over releasing the area anyways as I suspect it’s putting some off.

I think that is a good point Writers as for non drivers, transport links in Cornwall are very different to Bristol, Cardiff, Oxford etc. I am dead impressed that people are travelling so far.

Writersblock2 · 13/05/2018 14:51

Pleased to announce we have made the location public. WPUK Cornwall is in Truro. Please share on your social media. It has great train and bus access for everyone to get to the event.

Writersblock2 · 15/05/2018 07:36

We have a new graphic with Truro on. Please share widely. Contact your local Cllrs and ask them to come along to see what women in their area care about.

JoanSummers · 15/05/2018 09:58

Will do, thank you :)

speakingwoman · 18/05/2018 12:49

what time do events typically finish? (lightweight here)

ReluctantCamper · 18/05/2018 13:38

9pm usually, speakingwoman

Writersblock2 · 22/05/2018 19:33

Time to bump again. Tickets are selling but we’d love to sell a few more. And if you can’t come, please promote on Twitter and add loads of hashtags! Thanks

Just bought my ticket - I'll be coming from London. Have been meaning to visit friends in Cornwall for ages and this is a great excuse!

Writersblock2 · 23/05/2018 20:44

@BeUpStanding - that's a long way! Thank you so much for joining us. :D

We need to network as much as possible. The consultation on the GRA is going to be launched in about 6 weeks, so it's now critical!

UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea · 27/05/2018 09:14

I'll be there. Really looking forward to it!

Scentofwater · 28/05/2018 12:49

It’s in Truro? That’s fantastic, so central! It’s a lovely city.

I think I have lost at least three friends just by inviting them. Apparently feminism isn’t feminism if it doesn’t centre men.
