The Women’s Forum
invites to new members.
This forum is free and open to all (and yes, you do not need a Membership of The Graduate Union to join us). We welcome any age, any discipline and any new ideas. Discussions are held in an informal and friendly atmosphere room.

The next forum is on Wednesday, 15th March and the topic is “Recycling plastic: what can we do to alleviate the problems being caused by our use of plastic and the apparent difficulty of recycling it.”
The Women’s Forum meets on the third Wednesday of each month at Graduate House. At the forum, everyone is welcome to speak. Only two rules need to be observed:
• Each person wanting to speak may do so for up to ten minutes without interruption, after which the session will transit to become an open discussion. Some attendees have preferred to join in at this stage where the discussion is general, having learnt something from the previous speakers.
• The other rule is that while regular attendance is encouraged, if something unavoidable comes up, there is no need to apologise, though of course we like to know how people are. And if we can help.
At every meeting we choose topics for future meetings. They are not particularly academic - just topics we have read about or heard about and would like to discuss in a friendly atmosphere, perhaps with people who are more informed than we are since we all have different backgrounds and experience.
We arrive in time for a 10.30am start, finish about 12noon and have lunch at the Graduate House dining room, if we want to. For the last meeting of the year, we bring interesting musings to share with the rest of the group.
We always welcome new members to have fun with us and sometimes to share surplus fruits, jams or anything homemade.
