Inspired by Helen Watts at our events last week with @Vote100Notts? Then check out @nottswcentre library @Nottswlibrary for fab resources.

As we draw to the end of 2018 we are almost finished with @CentCitNottm Our final bit of work is to make a booklet showcasing everything we did this year. This will be launched around International Women's Day so watch this space to see how you can get hold of a copy. @IWDnottm

Very excited to be treated to a screening of 'Your Daughter', a film celebrating the life of Notts suffragette Helen Watts, created by modern day Notts heroes @nikkidisney and @GeorgiScurfield

Fantastic rendition of suffrage songs by the @PulpFrictionCIC Atmosphere Glee Choir - a great way to kick off our #Vote100 celebrations this evening

Great to hear Sian from @Vote100Notts describe the fantastic activities they have been leading on the history arm of #CentCitNottm

The wonderful Jo from @nottswcentre describes the amazing work of @CentCitNottm small grants winners on the community arm of the project

Amazing to hear @WildingGeorgina, Nottm's #YoungPoetLaureate recite her poem 'Counting the Women at the Picket Line', commissioned especially for #CentCitNottm's #Vote100 celebrations

Wonderful to have @SheriffNottm with us this evening to "honour and celebrate" the suffragettes who fought so hard for women's voting rights #Vote100

Hearing from @EleanorMField and Laura about their amazing project #PageantOnPaper, an incredible living artwork with more than 100 contributors so far! #Vote100 #VotesForWomen

Great to hear from Nikki from @ROAR_au and @SomewhereParty about the arts arm of the #CentenaryCitiesNottm project #Vote100 #VotesandVoices

Only one day to go until we unveil a plaque to Helen Watts at the #Nottingham Arboretum! If you can't wait until then head to our blog …nghamwomenshistorygroup.wordpress.com to read about other plaques to inspirational women and why there are not enough in Nottingham #ThursdayThoughts

On Friday the 14th December 2018 we celebrate the first time a woman will have a dedicated plaque placed in a public park in Nottingham. The plaque to the Nottingham suffragette Helen Watts is in the Nottingham Arboretum. The unveiling takes place at 2pm #WhatsonNotts

This Fri, to mark the conclusion of @CentCitNottm , AuROARa will be leading a voice and performance workshop in the galleries, where you can create empowering songs inspired by the suffragette movement. Free entry > join us! bit.ly/2PARwNO

On the 14th December 1918 women voted for the first time in a General Election. On the day of the election the local papers reported a steady stream of women to the polls and many were not escorted by their husbands! Celebrate with NWHG at the arboretum at 2pm on the 14th!

We are off to @Nottm_Contemp for a workshop this Fri - bring your voices and your protest with an opportunity to perform at @CentCitNottm celebration that evening: facebook.com/events/1244599…
