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!
