Broadstone Afternoon share a poem written by a member in tribute to NWR and to celebrate their groups 25th Anniversary in 2002

We have come from diverse
Counties of our land
With an open mind and
Friendship in our hands
There cannot be many aspects
Of life left uncovered
After 25 years of
Thoughtful discussion.
The NWR has helped us
Not to be blind to
Another’s views -
Also to not feel
Rejected by opposition
Take 30 women, over
Almost as many years -
Many of us have not
Had large families and
In times of uncertainty
Have turned to each other
For mutual support and advice
Take these shared experiences
And shake up a rich
Cocktail of survival
And companionship!
