Morning Tide WI meets on the second Wednesday of the month at the Methodist Church Hall, High Street, Lee-on-the-Solent, PO13 9NY at 10 am.
We have a varied programme of speakers each month and we also have a choir, ukulele group, a reading group, walking group, a knitting/crochet group and Lunch Club which meet at local restaurants every 2-3 months.
We pack shoeboxes for the Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child charity each year. The latest venture for our Knitting and Crochet Group is making ventilator bonnets and tiny cardigans for the pre-prem baby unit at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth.
Our chosen charity for 2019 is the Gosport based Harbour Cancer Support Group and during the year a number of fundraising events will be arranged. Our choir, “Morning Chorus” will be performing at the HCFWI Spring Meeting on 26th March 2019 and several charity concerts are being arranged this year.
Our organizer arranges trips throughout the year and the theatre group visit local theatres regularly.
We are a lively and welcoming group.
