We meet once a month, on the Second Tuesday at Watlington Village Hall. Each month we have a different speaker or practical activity, ranging from the domestic to the absurd.
Meetings start at 7.00pm, but you are welcome to arrive from 6.30pm to sign in, find a seat and chat. We usually start with the speaker or activity followed by a chat over a tea or coffee and refreshments and then catch up on the WI business. We aim to finish around 9.30pm. Perfect!
If you fancy coming along as a visitor, you are more than welcome. Why not let us know that you plan to come along, by sending us an email ([email protected]) or call or text Marion on 07827 623883 and we can add you to the visitors list for the night. We ask visitors to give us a small donation of £4.00 which covers the activity & refreshments. What a bargain!
