We were formed in 1925 as Cove WI, changing our name to Cove & Farnborough WI to reflect our changing catchment area. Over the years we have held our meetings in various halls but have now moved from our previous venue in the Community Centre in Farnborough to the British Legion Club in Cambridge Road East, GU14 6QB. We meet on the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 1.45pm and are a very active and friendly group. We welcome guests at our meetings, up to twice in a year for each person, and members are welcome to bring along a friend or relative on any of our outings. We have recently invited a number of new members to join us which has increased our numbers to 77. Please email any enquiries to Julie Bates at covesec@hampshirewi.org.uk or telephone 01252 540434
