Sicklesmere and District WI was
formed in November 2009.
We are a small but growing
institute and will give a warm welcome to any newcomers who would like to see
if the WI is for them.
We have a diverse range of ages
starting from 21 all the way up to 75 and a wide spectrum of ladies with many
and varied backgrounds and interests.
As an institute, we meet once a
month in the local village hall, where we have a short meeting about current
affairs within the Institute and the Federation. We then go on to enjoy
the current month's speaker/demonstration.
We learned about Henry the Eighth and
his six wives; the work of the Fishermen's Mission, were shown how to make
original Valentine Cards; and given an insight into the story of Unilever tea
plantations in East Africa.Other
meetings have seen us dyeing fabrics, making masks, discovering local history,
visiting the local Masons and taking a tour of old Bury.
Please visit 'meet our committee page' to learn a bit
more about some of our ladies, and the News page shows just how diverse our
meetings are.
