Milford-on-Sea W.I.

All visitors will be made most welcome at All Saints' Church Hall, Greenbanks Close, Milford-on-Sea SO41 0SQ on the third TUESDAY of each month, come along and meet our friendly members from 6.45p.m. (meetings start at 7 p.m.)
We have a wide range of speakers and throughout each month members may also take part in a variety of different activities. It is not all Jam and Jerusalem! On offer are Darts, Skittles, a Book Club, Produce, Walks, Drama, Play reading, and various Craft-based skills - try them all, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
We can boast of recent successes at the 2011 New Forest Show where traditional handiwork and produce won stars of varied colours. Two of our artists won first and second in the Art Class and we scored a second in the Floral display too. We are justifiably proud of our gifted photographers, artists, knitters and embroiderers, not forgetting the very accomplished cooks who are all happy to share their skills and knowledge.

| HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2011 |
| New members were welcomed with a "wine, cheese and chat" evening. The Spring Bazaar was well supported and raised funds for the charity "Sailability". Milford Food Week was closely followed by May Day on the Green with a very popular WI Cake Stall. There was an outing to Brownsea Island in June followed by our traditional "garden" meeting in July and a trip to the Olympic Sites in October. In November we entered the national Little Black Dress competition and got through to the finals. And of course we staged the Christmas panto which was great fun! |
