This summer, the NFWI teamed up with Sky to launch a nationwide search to to find the ultimate WI member – or W-Icon. Launched at the WI AGM in June, thousands of entries were painstakingly whittled down to just 10 finalists who were judged by a panel of three celebrity judges and representatives from Sky and the WI. The winners, Emma Cunningham, 35, from Hampshire and Valerie Wood-Gaiger MBE, 67, from Wales, went on to host an innovative series of practical learning guides to be screened from October 2008. Each W-Icon will also pick up £10000 to donate to a local community project of their choice. The six short programmes are packed with invaluable tips and easy “I wish I’d thought of that” solutions on a wide range of subjects, including; economical housekeeping, energy saving in the home, common-sense green gardening, creative needlework and making the most of the internet. In a slight departure from subjects the WI are well-known for there is also a guide to sexual health advice for the over 50’s.
