Monthly Meetings
Our monthly meetings are great fun, covering a diverse range of topics and activities. We often theme them to tie them in with current WI campaigns. Previous meetings have included:
- Talks on women’s issues, health & well-being, local history & the local causes and community projects we support
- Crafts such as making soap, beeswax food wraps, greetings cards, Easter Chick egg cosies & Christmas wreaths
- Quizzes, Music Bingo and Food & Drink tastings
- Gardening themes – making posies to combat loneliness and learning how to encourage bees into our gardens
All meetings are held in the function room of the Heathcote & Star pub, unless otherwise stated.
