Welcome to our web page! We are an evening WI meeting in the Hampshire village of Clanfield. We meet in the hall at Petersgate School, Clanfield, at 7.30 p.m. on the third Monday of the month and all visitors and new members are welcome.
At the gallery at the bottom there’s some pictures of typical events,
Whether you fancy making new friends or just enjoying a night out once a month, you’ll be more than welcome at Hyden WI. 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 discussions, Scrabble, walks, coffee mornings, ukulele, craft group and, of course, our luncheon group with husbands. We have an active Macular Degeneration Group for mutual support for those affected by this, and similar, conditions. We occasionally visit the Senior Screen at Port Solent Odeon Cinema on a Tuesday or Thursday with tickets at special rates – and free coffee and biscuits!
Our programme is shown below – if you are interested, please come along to a meeting and see if it’s for you, or contact our secretary at hydensec@hampshirewi.org.uk
More details about individual programme items can be obtained by contacting the Secretary.
