ARFORD WI


Arford is a very active institute and it is the committees' hope
that we encourage the interests of all our members.

As well as the programme of monthly meetings we hold
a fortnightly craft group where we chat and share ideas
There is a walking group, a monthly lunch club (recent visits
have been to the Frensham Garden Centre, the Royal Oak in
Wrecclesham and the Frensham Ponds hotel was the venue for
our December visit).

There are various outings on offer: last year's included a trip
and cream tea/fish supper on the Fleet canal.
We take part in the federation quiz, scrabble and skittles competitions.
We also have several members who get involved on an
individual basis with other Federation and group
competitions such as producing a mobile phone cover
and entering photos for the Hampshire WI calendar.

Members also have the opportunity to attend two local group meetings a year which
are always most enjoyable. There are also the two federation Council Meetings and the
National AGM on offer should they wish to get more involved in the WI.

There are workshops run by the federation round the county
and there is Denman House in Winchester where one has the
opportunity to increase skills and learn new ones in a helpful and
very friendly atmosphere.

The president and all the committee members cordially invite possible new members to join us at our next meeting.

We are open to everyone and would love to see you come along for a visit!

We meet at the Headley Church Centre at 8pm on the 4th Thursday each month.
