Waltham Chase W.I.

Welcome to our WI information page. Every WI is different and we try to make ours friendly, interesting and fun! Our motto is ‘fun and friendship’.

We meet at Waltham Chase village hall on the second Tuesday of the month from 7.15 pm and average 40 members of all ages. Everyone is encouraged to be involved, with the sharing of tasks and in all decision making. Our programme is below, varied, and we hope, something for everyone.

Outside of our monthly meetings, we organise walks, meals out and visits to places of interest.

On Monday mornings we have the ‘Munch Bunch’ meeting for a friendly chat and drink in Ria’s Café from 10.30 am. Alternate Monday afternoons we have our craft group, meeting in our homes or visiting a local craft shop or exhibition, and some of our members enjoy a monthly Sunday lunch at a local pub.

New members are very welcome. Just come along at 7.15 pm where there will be a friendly face to meet you or contact our secretary to find out a bit more about us. There is a charge of £3.00 for visitors.

Tea/coffee and biscuits are served and on special occasions we have wine, cheese and biscuits. We do seem to have quite a few ‘special occasions’!
