2 summer events for Clifton WI members

By Clifton WI -

 Fancy seeing some of the usually hidden aspects of Clifton Suspension Bridge?

We have a chance to go an a vaults guided tour on Saturday 1st July at 12.30.  We will meet at the Visitor Centre on the Leigh Woods side of the Bridge.

We have a few spaces so if you would like to come but want to bring a friend please just contact us at thecliftonwi@gmail.com.  Helen who is organising this trip for us will be contacting members to confirm numbers and payment in the next few days.

Payment will depend on numbers as it is a group booking.

As long as you are physically fit and feel confident to go up and down a 15-rung vertical ladder, it will be an experience to remember. Marvel at the feat of engineering in its historical context and enjoy the array of stalactites and rock formations with our knowledgeable and entertaining guide


A couple of members Helen and Nicky are going to try their hand at lawn bowls on Saturday July 15th.  They would love some other Clifton WI members to join them for the evening.

This is an event organised by the Durdham Down Group for local WI members to get together. 

It will be at Redland lawn Bowls Club with an optional Ploughman's Supper after our session and starts at 6.00pm. 

To play bowls cost = £7 Ploughman’s Supper = £6 

There is a paying bar in the Club House. 

NB Flat shoes are required to be worn on the green 

If you don’t want to play bowls, why not come along to watch and enjoy a social evening. 

Numbers and pre-payment are required by 8th July. 

Please make your payment by BACs to the Clifton WI Account, putting your name and Bowls in the reference: Sort Code: 30-99-08 Account: 23438360

Some events and ideas for Clifton WI members over this summer

By Clifton WI -
Clifton WI members like to get out and about in smaller groups for outings and visits.   We have some planned dates and ideas so do come along to our next meeting on April 26th or look out for your next newsletter in your inbox for further details. 🌸 👣 🎭 ♣🍲🚶🌉 In May a group are heading to Hanham Court Gardens, in July we have our annual meeting 'on the hoof' when we go for a walk ending in a local pub.  In addition, some will be going to find out a bit more of the shady history of life in Bedminster on a guided walk and we are also thinking of planning a visit to the hidden parts of Clifton Suspension Bridge.   This is in addition to monthly meetings and all our social groups getting together for theatre trips, meals or to review books and play a variety of games. Interested in joining Clifton WI? If you would like to join us, the first step could be to visit us at a monthly meeting.
