What do the spring and summer months hold for Clifton WI members?

By Clifton WI -

April is the annual membership renewal month and many members have already renewed for 2023/24 which is great news.

In case you are new to WI or possibly new to Bristol and wondering whether to give us a try, here are some of the the activities we have in mind for the coming months:

Our monthly meetings programme for the last Weds of each month is available so you can see the range of speakers and topics

Our social groups meet regularly and are an excellent way of getting to know us in smaller groups whilst doing something enjoyable, such as eating, playing games, chatting about books or going to the theatre

In addition our members arrange one off activities like the recent trip to the immersive experience Wake the Tiger. In May a group of us are going to visit Hanham Court for a tour and tea. We are also planning a group walking tour of the slightly more notorious side of Bedminster in July. So quite a range!

You are welcome to give us a try before deciding whether to become a member.  Come along to our monthly meetings up to 3 times as a visitor for a payment of £5.00 per visit and then if you do join us you pay a pro rata membership rate for the year.

We would love to see you and are a welcoming bunch.  Perhaps give us a try?

The heating was broken in Alma Hall, but the beautiful church came to our rescue with a grander backdrop than we're used to for our monthly meeting. We had a lovely time catching up and discussing the resolutions, which led to a lively debate, and took the opportunity to shop at our book and regifting stalls. A special thanks to those who helped the evening go smoothly, despite the change of venue. Unfortunately, it appears February is going to turn cold once again! We had a little reprieve from winter, but it was not to last. So, we will have to keep warm together and listen to another wonderful speaker. On 28 February, we will host Claire Hiscock, Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner for Avon & Somerset. She will discuss their priorities for tackling violence against women and girls in our area. We will be meeting in our usual location, the rear hall of Alma Church, at 7.30pm. Visitors are a...
