Wellingore W I
Inspiring Women

WELLINGORE WI
Welcome to the Wellingore WI website. The WI in Wellingore was formed in 1932, just 17 years after the formation of the organisation in Angelsey. The ideals of the WI are based on tolerance, friendship, truth and justice. The organisation is non-sectarian and non-political. Many of the resolutions put forward by the WI have become mainstays of our society, such as 'Keep Britain Tidy' and more recently the call for more Midwives. But, apart from being a formidable group of women we never fail to have fun and to support our local community. Yes we drink tea (and wine) and some of us bake cakes, but we are definitely much more than just 'Jam and Jersualem'
The WI
Inspiring women since 1915
Wellingore WI is a sociable group of ladies, who get together on the third Wednesday of each month. Meetings are informal. There is a little business to keep everyone up to date with what's happening - forthcoming events, outings, etc. This is usually followed by a talk, demonstration or activity (sometimes all three!). Our speakers cover a wide range of subjects and activities - sometimes the familiar, sometimes something new, different or unexpected. We round off with refreshments (coffee, tea or a glass of wine) and a chance to chat!
We play an active part in the social life of the village too, so there is plenty of opportunity to meet people and get involved in community activities.
The WI is for ALL women - whatever their age or interests. Whether you simply want to come along for a sociable night out with like minded people, or be actively involved and take advantage of all the opportunities this national organisation can offer, we'd love to see you
If you're interested, or want to know more, just contact us or come along to a meeting
