It's not all 'Jam & Jerusalem'

It hasn't quite got as far as the wonderful ladies of Rylstone WI, however Brockham Women's Institute is a thriving and active group of women.

In addition to a range of activities, the WI holds monthly meetings where a broad range of topics are presented and you are given the opportunity to 'unleash' your creativity.

It's an ideal way to develop friendships and participate in an exciting community and to attend courses from food hygiene to rock climbing.

Brockham WI are part of the Leith Hill Group which has quarterly meetings at which all WIs are represented.

We also belong to the Surrey Federation, based at 2 Denmark Road, Guildford, which runs numerous activities. Pop in any time Tuesday to Friday 10:00am - 4:30pm.

The National Federation, based in Fulham, London owns Denham College. Denman is the WI's own Residential Adult Education College near Oxford,. Every year, over 6,000 students from all over England and Wales attend some 500 courses (usually 2-4 days) to develop new skills and knowledge, start a new hobby, or purely for pleasure.

If all this sounds intriguing and you've wondered what the WI was really like, why not come along for two or three meetings as a non-member.

We're sure you'll enjoy it!

Contact Mrs Dorothy Charman on 01737 843796 or you're welcome to just turn up at the next meeting.
