Norbury & District WI

Celebrating its 60th year in 2014, Norbury & District WI is a welcoming, supportive and fun group of women who meet every second Thursday in the month at Norbury Village Hall. We currently have around 40 members drawn from the surrounding villages. New members are welcome to join throughout the year and guests are also welcome at any time.

The monthly meetings start at 7.30pm (doors open 7.15) with a short meeting to discuss WI business and events for the diary, followed by a guest speaker. We then enjoy a lovely buffet tea, which gives members the chance to socialise and catch-up.

Norbury & District WI also has three darts teams which take part in the WI’s county-wide competition … bringing the cup home to Norbury on no less than 3 occasions! Other fun activities include a monthly Coffee & Craft group, together with a monthly WI & Friends Walking Group.

The WI is run by a committee of 12 members, the current President being Kath Hughes.

• 13 February – Emergency Poet Deborah Alma
