BASINGSTOKE EVENING WI - COME AND JOIN US!!


Church Cottage Basingstoke

We were formed in March 1971 and meet on the first Tuesday of every month at 7.30pm in Church Cottage, behind St. Michael's Church. We invite you to "try us out" - a warm welcome awaits you and we make no charge for the first two visits, by which time we hope you will want to join us.
We have many and varied guest speakers at some of our monthly meetings; we have a drama group - The Jam Tarts - which is great fun; We have at least one travelling tutor day; and during the year there will be organised walks finishing at a pub for lunch, some of our members host coffee evenings which they hold in their gardens.
