Cholesbury and
St Leonards Women's Institute
The WI
Cholesbury-&-St Leonards W.I. was formed as an evening
institute in July 1979 following the suspension of the afternoon
institute which had been active since the 1930s. At present there
are 34 members who meet on the third Monday of each month at St
Leonards Parish Hall in Jenkins Lane, St Leonards.
The programme of speakers for these meetings can be found here
and we hope that they will be of interest and would welcome anyone
to come to these meetings as a visitor. We have a reputation as
being friendly and welcoming so why not come along - meetings start
at 8pm.
There is always a certain amount of what is called "business" to
go through, but this is kept as short as possible and is usually
news of what is going on within the county and opportunities to
take part in other events and activities, ranging from rambles to
concerts and many others. More information can be found on www.bucksfwi.org.uk. Besides being
part of the county federation, each individual WI is also part of
the national organisation, and as such we have a say in a number of
campaigning issues at a national level, and our views are listened
to!
Posters advertising our meetings are put on the notice boards
around the parish in the week before the meeting - We look forward
to welcoming you!
