Centenary celebrations began on the1st January 2014 for WI members everywhere as the specially designed centenary baton officially began its journey around the UK. The baton, launched in Anglesey where the first WI meeting was held in the UK in 1915, will travel throughout the 69 federations in England, Wales and the Islands to celebrate the links of friendship and community developed through the WI, and will finish its trip at the Annual General Meeting in June 2015 at the Royal Albert Hall.
