About our W.I.

ASHURST W.I.
 |
Ashurst W.I. was formed in 1962 and we have 35 members at the moment. As well as our monthly meetings we have pub lunches, a discussion group, theatre visits and occasional outings. Our members also attend Group meetings, Council Meetings and anything else of interest. We have a small Craft Group which organises entries for Group and New Forest Show competitions. There is also a small group which meets monthly for a Beading Workshop. We meet at the Church Rooms, Deerleap Lane, Colbury, Southampton, SO40 7EH, at 7.30 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month, except August when we have a garden meeting. Phone Polly on 02380 866641 for more information. You will find we are very friendly and welcoming. |
