We aim to have meetings which are stimulating, interesting and entertaining. As well as a speaker or other activity, we hold a raffle at our meetings and often have a sales table of various crafts, plants, clothes and books. We support local and other organisations by collecting and passing on suitable items. Of course, there is always social time at each meeting. We are members of the South Downs Valley Group of WIs and take part in skittles, darts and quiz competitions.
