Unsung Heroines of Midland Chase<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

In collaboration with Rosie\u2019s Plaques, part of The Common Lot CIC Theatre Company which is based in Norwich, members are invited to identify, research, and discuss unsung heroines of Midland Chase – local women or groups of women\/girls who have made a real difference in their local geographical area and yet whose contribution remains \u201cunsung\u201d or invisible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
These should be women\/girls of whom most of us know little, and who certainly have no statues or Blue Plaques celebrating them. So for example Betty Boothroyd or Clarice Cliff – excellent though they were – would not qualify for our project. Neither would women or girls who are still living.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I\u2019d like to invite every club to participate in this project which will run from January – September 2024, and I\u2019d like every member to be involved in some way or another\u2026How you organise it all is up to you of course.<\/div>\n

So what do we have to do?<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/a>Each club is invited to work towards making one \u201cRosie\u2019s Blue Plaque\u201d in the name of one woman or group of women local to their club. With the assistance of Rosie\u2019s Plaques we will make the actual plaques after our June Regional meeting at 2pm on Saturday 22nd June 2024 at Weston Village Hall.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Before then each club needs to research, discuss, debate and select suitable local women who could be the subject of their club\u2019s plaque.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Once you\u2019ve made your final club choice, you\u2019ll need to locate and negotiate a place where the plaque can be displayed – obtaining permission is an essential part of the exercise. You will need to have a \u201cPlan B\u201d location if your first choice of site is not available to you.<\/div>\n

What\u2019s the Timetable?<\/h2>\n
