Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of every month at 7.30pm at Colehill Village Hall, Cannon Hill Road (formerly called Colehill Memorial Hall). We welcome visitors at any of our meetings.
We have a membership of 40 at present and have a mix of ages. We have just celebrated 60 years of Colehill WI and we had a special horseracing evening and party, which was attended by our members that included one member who has been a member for the whole 60 years . Our meetings are lively, friendly and usually involve interesting speakers on a wide range of topics. There is always time for a cup of coffee or tea and a chat during the evening.
The ideals of the WI are as strong and important now in the 21st century as they were at the start in 1915. The WI exists to educate women, enabling them to provide an effective role in the community, to expand their horizons and to develop and pass on important skills.
We do a variety of activities outside our monthly meetings, these include walking and sewing groups. We also hope shortly to be starting an art group.
Our next meetings are as follows:
11 June -Flushed with Success – Judy Theobald
9 July – Life in Georgian England – Mike Rendell
13 August – Dorset County Quiz
Visitors are welcome, if you would like to contact us beforehand drop us an email.
We are a friendly group and our meetings are fun and filled with laughter.
