About Us

Hartley Wintney Women's Institute
 |
Our WI was formed in 1919, and in that year the hut was given by a village benefactor, who went to Salisbury Plain to choose it, and who arranged for it to be brought back to the village! The site was rented from the Calthorpe family at 2/6d per annum until, 1948, when the land was given to the WI by Miss Moore in memory of Adeline Bernal. |
|
We meet on the second Thursday of the month at 7.30pm. where our 41 members enjoy a varied programme throughout the year with meetings open to non-members. |
|
We are part of the Hart Group of WIs and their meetings are held in our hall in Spring and Autumn. We enter into County events including Skittles, Darts, County Quiz and Firesiders Scrabble. There is a weekly Craft Workshop and a Fitness Class (led by a local Osteopath). We have occasional visits to London Concerts, Ballet and Opera and our members support County and National events. |

Originally a W.I. Market, formed in 1985 by Hartley Wintney members, sold fresh goods and crafts every Friday morning. This thriving Market continues weekly although now called Country Market with long queues forming just before 10.00.a.m. and waiting for the whistle to allow customers in! |
