Basingstoke Afternoon WI


The Basingstoke Afternoon W.I. was founded in 1985. We meet in The Barn at St.
Michael's Church Cottage on the third Tuesday of every month at 2pm [Except
August] (Disabled Access: Full Access, Side Doors of Hall)

We have various speakers throughout the year and in August we have a social event
which can vary.

Each month we have competitions for which at the end of the year there is a small
prize.

We have a scrabble group that meet each month at a member's home.

We have organised walks each month, finishing at a pub for lunch.

We are a friendly group and would welcome any new visitors or members.

Below is a copy of our programme for 2011/12.
