Sedgley E Guild
Sedgley E TG’s first ever IWD event was very successful and enjoyed by all. Speakers were Sara Trayers and Pen Turner talking about inspirational women past and present. There was also a picture quiz and some singing. Really good turn out from 5 different guilds and representatives from West Midlands Federation. Photos show ladies doing the IWD 2023 themed action for ‘embracing equity’.
Also, a photo of Sara Trayers during her talk about Emma Sproson.
