OUR WI

WE CARE
about our members, the local environment, the future of rural services – especially our Post Office and public transport.
WE SUPPORT
village events (for example, we provide the tea tent at the Annual Village Show).
WE HAVE
regular speakers on wide-ranging and thought-provoking topics at our meetings.
WE ENJOY
many activities – walking, croquet, cricket, line-dancing and learning craft and computer skills.
WE PARTICIPATE
in WI Group competitions (some members do make exceedingly good cakes).
WE GO ON OUTINGSto places like the Lavender Fields at Snowshill.
