Our meetings are held on the 2nd Monday of every month and start at 7.45 pm for 8.00 pm. They’re open to everyone so you don’t have to be a member to come along – just turn up! Meetings are free for all Chapel Pie WI members and there’s a small charge of £4 for non-members. Our sessions vary from inspiring guest speakers to food and drink tasting, crafty get-togethers and other skill-learning events. At the heart of them all is an opportunity to meet new friends for a catch-up.
At some meetings we incorporate a cooking club where we invite members to bring along some home-cooked food, based around a theme, for us all to try and share recipe ideas. And what meeting wouldn’t be complete without a raffle? So if you have any unwanted gifts/boxes of chocolate/wine, etc, or if you run your own business and would like to give away a freebie to promote your business, please bring these along as a donation to the raffle to help support the WI.
