Dersingham WI
Dersingham Evening WI (there used to be an Afternoon WI!) holds monthly meetings on the third Wednesday of each month - except August. We are entertained and informed by speakers on a wide variety of subjects. Of course, there's a raffle each month - wouldn't be a WI without that - but we have super prizes, so it's well worth a go.
We meet at St Cecilia's Catholic Church, Mountbatten Road, Dersingham (don't worry, it's just the Church room we use - WI is non-religious / non-political and open to every woman in the land!)
Our meetings start at 7.15pm - and there's no entrance charge, we do ask visitors for a donation of £3.00 - but this is voluntary, if you came without your purse we wouldn't turn you away.! We have a cup of tea or coffee (with biccis) and ask for a really small donation at that point and this money goes towards our "Pennies for Friendship" for the ACWW (Associated Country Women of the World) which is a sister organisation who fund projects for women all over the world, helping them to get our of poverty by sustainable means.
It's a big WI so to make meeting members more easy (and therefore making friends) we have lots of little things that go on - a coffee morning each month, a craft group, the MAD knitting group (actually stands for Make a Difference), 'fit 'n' dancin' - a part keep fit - part dance group, a walking group, lots of trips out to difference places - oh, you can easily fill your calendar up - but you don't have to (a) do everything or (b) commit to anything for a long time - just try it and see if it suits you.
The WI offers opportunities for all women to enjoy friendship, to learn, to widen their horizons and together to influence local, national and international affairs.
Dersingham WI is part of Norfolk County WI which, in turn, is part of the National Federation of WI. That's a lot of ladies with a lot of influence.
