Melsonby WI

Melsonby has a small but active Women’s Institute, which meets on the first Tuesday of every month, at 7.00pm in the room in St James’ church.

New members of all ages are always welcome and you can come as a visitor for £4.00 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.

There is a WI noticeboard in the church for further information.

If you are interested please contact:-

Jane Brown (Sec) jbrown@brownbods.com

or Valerie Cook (President) v.cook235@btinternet.com

 

 

      

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.

 

The WI also completed an altar cloth for Remembrance in 2022.

We always welcome  new members, of any age. Come and try one meeting. We are a very friendly group and welcome any new ideas.  Below is the 2024 programme.
