Bridgemary Wyches WI
The Bridgemary Wyches held its inaugural meeting in January 2019 so is still very much in its infancy. Nevertheless we have almost 50 members of varying ages and abilities. We are a friendly circle of ladies who meet up on the fourth Thursday of the month at 13.00 – 15.00 to have a chat and a cup of tea and cake and to listen to a presentation/speaker. To date we have had talks on “being a Guernsey refugee in England during WW””, “My Journey to becoming an Ultra Athlete” and “Lost Souls” – a very emotive tale of a family’s losses during WW1.
As can be seen by the agenda below we do have lots of extremely interesting future talks also.
In our June meeting we voted on our chosen charity for 2019-2020 which was The Rainbow Centre and we discussed how we can raise funds for them. To date we have held two coffee mornings and had a cake and craft stall.
Despite being relatively new, we have had a lovely fish and chip supper cruise down the Chichester Canal and a trip to Chichester Theatre to see Oklahoma and our Social Officers are in the process of arranging a visit to the Poppy Factory in Richmond and a possible visit to the Chelsea Hospital to talk to the Chelsea Pensioners. Work is afoot to arrange a skittles evening and we are always open to suggestions regarding future ideas.
