An Invitation to join in the fun and friendship!

We have recently been to the Roses Theatre in Tewkesbury to see 'Glorious 39' A great movie, making us think about our early years. At the end of March we will go to see 'The Last Station'. Will it be too risqué for us?


Several outings are arranged for the spring and summer. In April we go on a mystery blossom tour. The exact route isn't decided till the day, to make sure we get the best blossoms. We do know that, as usual, we will end up at a country WI for another delicious WI tea!


In June several of us are going to see 'The Calendar Girls' in the Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham. It is so appropriate for a WI to see a show of another WI. Will we want to copy them, the jury is out on that!


As there is no monthly meeting in August, we will instead all go to the National Memorial Arboretum for a day out It will be quite a day out, as it is in the National Forest, near Lichfield. We will get lunch there, but on our route back, we will stop off for a WI tea. It is marvellous to have all these teas available round the countryside!


As well as trips out, we have a list of excellent speakers each month, when we learn about so much, from Dowdswell Reservoir, Tripping down the Nile, and Belly Dancing, just a few examples. Every month we have the flower of the month competition, raffle and a sales table. It is always a busy, interesting meeting, with tea in the middle, and usually home-made cake. There is a chance to talk to everyone, catch up on news and so on.


We go to the group skittles and bowls contest, quiz, and meetings. We encourage members to go to Denham, the WI centre, which runs really good classes in just about everything. Accommodation is available there, and the Winchcombe WI provides two bursaries each year.
