INKBERROW WI
The WI originated in Canada in 1897 and today is the largest voluntary women’s organisation in the UK with some 212,000 members in approximately 6,600 branches (and rising). More information on the WI – its history and current national campaigns and activities – can be found on the NFWI website: www.thewi.org.uk
Inkberrow WI celebrated its 100th birthday in 2020. We meet regularly at the village hall, usually on the first Wednesday of the month at 7.30pm and in addition to sub-groups catering for members’ specific interests, eg sewing, crafts and books we have regular outings to interesting locations and the cinema.
There is an annual subscription of £42 but you don’t have to join straight away. You can come along to a meeting or two as a visitor.
As well as additional outings and cinema visits, our programme for the coming months is:
