Hyden WI


Meets on 3rd. Monday evening every month at Clanfield

Whether you fancy making new friends or just enjoying a night out once a month, you’ll be more than welcome at Hyden W.I. You’re sure to fit in – we come in all shapes, ages and sizes!
We have a very interesting programme scheduled for the current year, and have also included lots of social time. In our main meeting once a month we have interesting talks by experienced speakers. We also have sub groups for craft, keep fit, discussions, Scrabble, walks, coffee mornings, reading group and, of course, our luncheon group with husbands. We also have the occasional competition. A new feature in recent months has been the Senior Screen at Port Solent Odeon Cinema on a Tuesday morning, with special rates - and free coffee and biscuits!
We recently celebrated our 30th birthday with a party and an audio visual presentation taken from 30 years' scrapbooks and photo albums. It proved great fun for all to see the early days, and what a nostalgic journey for some of our members who were with us right at the start! The presentation is now available as a DVD (see above picture).
We meet at St. James’s Church Hall, Clanfield, at 7.30 p.m. on the third Monday of the month. Our programme for 2008 is shown below - if you are interested, please come along to a meeting and see if it’s for you, or phone Angela Lambert on 02392 618479.
