Norbury & District WI

Celebrating its 70th year in May 2024, Norbury & District WI is a welcoming, supportive and fun group who meet on the second Thursday of each month at The Village Hall, Norbury. We currently have around 30 members drawn from the surrounding villages. New members can join throughout the year and guests are also welcome at any time (£5.00 which includes supper).

The business part of the meeting starts at 7.30 pm prompt; members tend to arrive around 7.15, allowing time for a chat before the meeting starts.

If you would like further information, please contact our President, Alice O’Leary – email: norburyanddistrict@gmail.com or call our Secretary, Valerie Woodmansey on: 01588 650940.
