Boldre WI


New Forest

Boldre WI has approximately 50 lively and enthusiastic members meeting at Boldre War Memorial Hall Pilley on the first Thursday of each month at 7.00pm with the exception of the June meeting which is an afternoon meeting usually in a members garden. Visitors and new members are always very welcome.

We have very interesting and topical speakers to cover the varying tastes of our members.

Our activities include regular walks (sometimes with a pub lunch!), theatre trips,
garden outings, supporting the local produce show (started by the WI over 90 years ago) and many more.

We raise funds by serving lunch or afternoon teas to several coach parties visiting our local area during the summer.

We are a member of the Lymington Group of WI’s
