We have now cancelled our zoom membership and all meetings are face to face at St Andrews Bowling Club on Derby Road. We meet on the third Tuesday of every month for an 8pm start. Doors normally open 15 minutes beforehand.
We’ve revamped our competition to win a Denman Bursary. We want you to celebrate women in any way you like. So it could be about yourself or any woman – family, colleague, famous woman – who inspires you.
So get your creative hats on. You could write a poem, or a short story, or perhaps create a painting or photograph. There are no fixed categories so feel free to use any other imaginative craft you can think of. Let’s see how creative our WI can be!
We have three prizes: First prize is £200 and two follow up prizes of £100 for you to spend on a course at Denman. The deadline is the October meeting for judging, with the winners being announced at the quiz in November.
The Gloucester Road WI is a diverse group of women with some amazing skills and experience.
We formed in 2011, and currently have over 50 members who meet monthly and engage in an activity or listen to a speaker. We also fundraise for local charities and participate in the national WI campaigns and initiatives.
Membership for 2023
Membership for 2023 opens in April and costs £46 per year. You can also attend meetings on a trial basis before joining. If you have any further questions about joining our vibrant and active WI please get in touch.
