Melsonby WI

Melsonby has a small but active Women’s Institute, which meets on the first Tuesday of every month, at 7.00pm in Melsonby Methodist Primary School or Aldbrough St John Village Hall.

New members of all ages are always welcome and you can come as a visitor for £2.00 to see if you like it, or are interested in a particular topic!

Each month there is a talk and a competition, a practical workshop, or a visit.

As a member you can take part in County Federation courses and lectures with other WIs.

In June 2015, our members took part in the Centenary AGM streamed live from the Albert Hall to the Station Cinema and then enjoyed our centenary cupcake.

In 2018 we created a groundsheet covered with poppies for the memorial sessions of the WW1 Centenary

We always welcome  new members, of any age. Come and try one meeting !
