Please note:
We are working on changes to links on Women in London

Based on feedback that users are finding the wordpress generated links
not very user friendly (eg http://www.womeninlondon.org.uk/?p=850), we
have switched to more date based links, similar to those used on Women
in London prior to our switch to wordpress at the start of this year
(eg http://www.womeninlondon.org.uk/2009/05/notice-wan/).

However this means that we will now have to work our way through links
created since January to update links in our index and calendar pages.
If you cant find what you are looking for and / or get a page error
message please use the search functions.
