About Hannington WI
|
Hannington WI
 |
We are a small very friendly WI in rural Hampshire. |
|
Hannington lies between Basingstoke and Newbury. It is situated on top of the Hampshire Downs, and is in the North Wessex Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. In every direction, the landscape falls away sharply from the village, with the Test Valley to the south and the Thames Basin to the north. The village of Hannington is isolated within the landscape, the nearest settlement of any size is Kingsclere, three miles away. Wolverton, the nearest village, is separated from Hannington by about two miles of open countryside. |
|
We are fairly informal; we do not sing Jerusalem at the opening of the meetings, we have theatre and cinema visits, go walking, ending in a pub lunch; enter competitions with other local WI’s such as skittles and quizzes. We also band together and help each other out if needed and you also have an immediate new group of friends. |
|
Visitors and new members are very welcome. Our meetings commence at 7.45pm in the village hall. Come and give us a try, we don't bite! |
