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.
The WI membership year runs from 1st April to 31st March and we accept members throughout the year.
A new member joining the WI for the first time (or who has not been a member of any WI in the 12 months before their joining the WI) pays a pro-rata subscription.
Please note that there is no pro-rata membership option if you were a member in the past 12 months. The full annual fee of £ 54 for 2026 will be due April 1st.
More detail on how to renew will follow shortly. Meanwhile, for any new or renewal membership queries email info@gloucesterroadwi.org
Visitors
Women are welcome to try out our WI, attending up to 3 times a year before they are required to join. The visitor donation is £7.50 per meeting. We accept cash or card for visitor entry.
If you have any further questions about joining our vibrant and active WI please get in touch.
Tuesday 20 October
St Bonaventure’s Parish Hall
7:45 for 8pm
Our October meeting will include our Annual General Meeting (AGM), where members will be updated on the performance and finances through the Annual Report and Financial Statement. We will also be voting in new committee members and saying a big thank you to those stepping down.
Then we are very fortunate to have Ali Ball come and give us a talk on Egyptology. Ali is a co-founder of the Kemet Klub which organises online lectures with some of the best Egyptologists in the world and a committee member with the Egypt Society of Bristol. She loves to combine her experience as a primary school teacher with her passion for ancient Egypt to deliver KS2 Egyptology workshops.
Since it is Harvest Festival time, we want to support this wonderful charity based at The Ardagh. They suggest: cereals, pasta, rice, beverages, tinned food, and treats like biscuits and cereal bars. Since a majority of recipients are vegetarian or do not eat meat, they focus on meat-free food donations. They also welcome toiletries, such as nappies, sanitary towels, soap, shampoo and baby toiletries. https://familyfoodaction.org.uk
Please do come along. Visitors are welcome at a cost of £7.50.
If you are interested in any of our events, please email us for more information on info@gloucesterroadwi.org. You can also check our out website www.gloucesterroadwi.org.
