Copythorne WI


We are a small but friendly WI group. We were formed in April 1918 and are still going strong. We meet on the second Wednesday of the month in the Parish Hall, Pollards Moor
Road, Copythorne, SO40 2HP at 2.15pm. We are lucky to have a large car park and disabled facilities.
New members and visitors are always very welcome to this WI on the edge of the New Forest.
At our meetings we are kept up to date with local and county matters as well as enjoying talks on various subjects from Today's Rubbish - Tomorrow's Creation to slides on Eling Tide Mill.
As a WI member you will be welcome to just enjoy the meeting or join in as many of the groups run by our members. These include, craft, darts, art, walking & our latest venture play reading.
We also do litter picks around local roads and have an entry in the local annual carnival procession. We enter and provide stewards for the New Forest Show.
