MWiB World Federation Day 2026

Methodist Women in Britain

News for the Northampton District, circuits and churches October 2026
As there is no District Committee active at present the District Ambassadors are
taking responsibility for sharing news about the events currently available to all
women in the District. We are working with the Ambassadors in the Nottingham and
Derby District to plan future events.

The next event is a World Federation Day to be held at Stapleford Methodist Church
Nottingham on Saturday 17th October 2026 from 10.00 to 4.00pm.
