Stickford & District WI

The WI meet on the second Monday of each month at 1.30pm in our Community Centre.  We are a group of ladies whose ages vary greatly.   Many have moved into the village from different parts of the country and others have lived here all their lives.  Between us we have many different interests and hobbies, but we all have the same reason for coming to our meeting, to make new friends, meet up with old ones, have tea and cake and most of all to have a laugh and a good time. We have guest speakers, gain knowledge and new skills. At the moment we are unable to meet because of Covid but when we start up again please come along, see what we do and join us for a cup of tea.

We are a club for over 55’s and we meet at Stickford Community Centre at 2pm on the second Tuesday in the month. At the moment we are unable to meet owing to the Coronavirus restrictions but we hope these will soon be lifted.
