Gosport WI

Welcome to the Gosport WI web page. We are an active group with
61 members of various ages and a wide range of interests. We
warmly welcome prospective new members to both our meetings and
other activities.
Regular monthly meetings take place to which we invite a wide
range of speakers throughout the year to inform and entertain us
as well as holding demonstrations and the opportunity to
participate in some new activities.
In addition to our monthly meetings we have a craft group, drama
group, walking group, organise trips, visits and social evenings.
We are part of the Haven Group and have links with 6 other WI's
with contact to local, county and national venues and form part
of the Hampshire Federation. Haven Group organises two group
meetings and a Carol Service every year and arranges Group
outings. Group meetings provide the opportunity to meet members
from other WI's.
You will have the opportunity to discuss matters of local and
national importance and have your views put to the government,
via the WI. A chance to attend County courses covering every
imaginable subject, sport, hobby and craft. And a chance to win a
Bursary for a course at Denman, the WI National College.
