Welcome to our site! 

 

'And did those feet in ancient time
walk upon England's mountain green...'

Looking at these photographs of members and their families on some of our regular walks and outings, the open lines to the Women's Institute unofficial anthem readily spring in mind. The Women's Institute is the largest voluntary organisation for women in the UK with 220,000 members in England, Wales and the Islands in more than 6,300 WIs (The WI Federation website).

Our meetings
With around 30 members, our meetings are informal and friendly and great way to meet local women of all interests and ages. Our programme for speakers for the evening is always varied. The talks maybe amusing, educational or something a bit different but above all entertaining.

We also get a lot of enjoyment out of organising our own entertainment, particularly at special events and at our Christmas parties!.

How to become a member
We welcome all interested women who would like to enrich their lives and community by joining our friendly and active group.

If you would like to come along to any of our WI meetings to find out more, or to see if the WI is for you, please contact us and we will be happy to arrange a visit. You can contact us via post or email.
