2023 Christmas Party 
We had a lovely celebration at the Eastfield Inn, featuring delicious food, fun with skittles, and plenty of sparkling conversation with friends!





15th Birthday Party
The Clifton WI turned 15 at our November 2023 meeting - we celebrated with sparklers and a cheeky toast!





Outings
From time to time we get together to visit somewhere we think will be interesting such as our visit to Goldney Hall.
It can be a good way to get to know a smaller group of Clifton WI members.
 



 
We had an interesting, if slightly unnerving, visit to Arnos Vale Burial Ground to learn about some of the dubious goings on in previous centuries whilst exploring the parts of the site which have been relieved of their brambles and vegetation. Charlotte was our excellent guide and a cuppa was enjoyed in the Autumn sunshine afterwards.




As part of our planned excursions in 2023 a group of us went to see what the immersive experience Wake the Tiger was all about and the obligatory refreshments afterwards!




Clifton Suspension Bridge Vaults Group Tour July 2023
This was very interesting and we scrambled down the ladder for an explore of a part of the bridge we had no idea existed.  Our Guides were very helpful and knowledgeable!    


                                             






Eating 
Possibly our specialist subject! We enjoy a number of sub groups focused on the lovely dining out opportunities in the Clifton area.  



 



Meetings
We had a go at Eastern Dancing in 2021 at one meeting.  It was fun and kept us fit.  




      
 
Veils and (virtual) pot carrying was involved

Looking after ourselves and a bit of pampering never goes amiss!

Cold Hall, Warm Hearts!

By Clifton WI

Our last meeting was met with mild weather outdoors, but rather chilly temps indoors! 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...

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.
