Skye & Lochalsh Co-ordinator: Fiona MacEwan The Skye and Lochalsh group is slightly different than the other W@W groups. We are a constituted group with 83 members, run by a committee of seven women. We work in collaboration with the W@W project to put a programme of events together for the Skye and Lochalsh area. Our members are widespread, so we meet in the evenings, and we move the venue around. We have even sailed across to the mainland for a joint meeting with the Lochaber group!
