EXTRA ACTIVITIES

CRAFT CLUB

We get together on a Saturday morning (usually the third Saturday) in the meeting room of the village hall, and the sessions are also open to non-WI members, who are welcome to join us.   Sometimes we have specific projects that we are working on together, or workshops to learn a particular craft, and other times we bring our own work.  We always have lively discussions about our projects, coffee and a chat.  

Next meeting: Saturday 10 May 2025 at the Village Hall - join in with making brooches, or bring your own project, or just come along for a chat!   Non members always welcome

 WALKERS

Some new walks are being arranged for the spring and summer, with a mixture of distances to suit everyone.  These will usually (but not always!) be on the second Tuesday of the month.

Next walk: Tuesday 13 May at Moreton, 4 miles, meet outside Laurence's grave cemetary at 10am

 BOOK CLUB 

The Book Club usually meets on the 3rd Monday evening of the month, with up to 10 members in a group.  Books are chosen each year from a huge list provided by Dorset Libraries, and we have a great discussion about the books we have read.  Being a member of the Book Club means that we are introduced to books and authors that we might not have tried before.

 Next meeting: Monday 19 May at Dawn's at 7.30pm

DINERS

The Diners enjoy a meal together each month and take turns to organise the venue.  This means we get loads of variety and a chance to try somewhere new.   We have recently enjoyed dining at the RNLI restaurant in Poole, Italian Kitchen in Wareham, Le Petit Vin tapas restaurant in Wareham, Dorset Golf & Country Club and the Sailors Return at East Chaldon, Countryman at East Knighton, Ship Inn, Wool, Red Lion Winfrith, Black Dog Broadmayne, Weld Arms East Lulworth, Bean on the Green, Enzos in Weymouth, White Pepper in Weymouth, The Old Stables in Swanage, Potting Shed at Poundbury, Lakeside Fish Restaurant.

Next lunch:  Friday 23 May 12.30 at Holme Nurseries

WALKING NETBALL

 A fun way to keep fit and enjoy a team game, with weekly practice sessions as well as tournaments with other groups.  Despite its title, this can be an energetic and competitive game!  Open to non-WI members. See NEWS tab for more information.

We hope to resume in the summer. Watch this space!

 KURLING 

Kurling takes place every Friday afternoon at the village hall, from 2 - 4 pm.

Congratulations to our Kurling Team who made it through the preliminary rounds to take a very respectable second place in the final.

SKITTLES

We get involved in the WI Skittles League each year, sometimes with two or more teams!  We play on various evenings and at different venues, including village halls, pubs and clubs, and get to meet other WI members from nearby institutues.
