The campaign saw the presence of one of the leading candidate’s wives. Dr Zahra Rahnavard has been seen alongside her husband, the reformer Mir-Hossein Mousavi. They’ve even been spotted holding hands - a big deal in Iran. Click here to listen to the Woman's Hour episode. For the Woman's Hour podcast click here.

Why not plan to visit Llanelwedd, Builth Wells in July. It is the place to be between 20th and the 23rd as it is the site where over 1/4 million people visit the Royal Welsh Show. Click on the video below to get a taste of the show in 2008. Sefydlwyd Sioe Amaethyddol Frenhinol Cymru ym 1904 a chynhaliwyd y Sioe gyntaf yn Aberystwyth yn yr un flwyddyn. Mae’r Sioe wedi dyfod yn ddigwyddiad pwysig yn y calendr Cymreig, yn denu tua 230,000 o bobl dros y pedwar diwrnod. Caniatawyd datblygiadau eang o’r maes parhaol yn Llanelwedd, Powys ym 1963 oherwydd llwyddiant y Sioe. Mae yna 7,500 o ymgeiswyr yn cystadlu yn y cystadlaethau anifeiliaid, dros 1,000 o stondinau masnach, ac adloniant ac atyniadau yn y prif gylch bob dydd. Cynhelir y digwyddiad o gwmpas y drydedd wythnos yng Ngorffennaf. In 1957, visitors to the Royal Welsh Show will remember the floods which gave the prime opportunity for a Cardiganshire wellington boot seller to sell his entire stock!

"We play a unique role in providing women with educational opportunities and the chance to build new skills, to take part in a wide variety of activities and to campaign on issues that matter to them and their communities."  AGM News This year the AGM resolution 'SOS for Honey Bees’ achieved a 99.4% majority - an astounding achievement. Honey Bees play a vital role in the pollination of food crops and in our environment and the vote aims to urge the Government to increase funding for research into Bee Health. For reference please read the Resolution notes at the WI website “The vote is a vindication of the BBKA’s continued campaign for £8 million for honey bee health research funding. We demand that a realistic and adequate share of the £10million fund set up by the Government for research into pollinator decline is now put into honey bee health research.” Tim Lovett, President of the British Beekeepers' Association.
