Goodworth Clatford's W.I. Group |
The Goodworth Clatford branch of the Women’s Institute was formed in 1923. We are a friendly active group with a membership of 67 and a warm welcome awaits new members. Monthly meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7.30pm in the Goodworth Clatford club. We enjoy talks and demonstrations from visiting speakers and meet and chat over refreshments. As well as the monthly meeting members also enjoy other activities such as the walking group, two book clubs, supper club, craft group, theatre trips and a slimming group.
It has been five months since we have been able to have our normal monthly WI meeting and we are missing our cheery get togethers. At the beginning of August, with part lifting of restrictions, we were able to hold a delightful coffee morning in the Royal Oak garden. Twenty seven members enjoyed tea, coffee and a selection of cakes in pleasant warm weather. How difficult it was not to mix and mingle, but we generally behaved and complied with Covid 19 social distancing regulations.
Members and their friends have been actively knitting and crocheting cannula mittens and hats for the neonatel unit and red hats for the sick babies unit, both in Winchester. Children’s jumpers, cardigans, mittens and hats, teddies and a blanket have also been made for the Loving Hands charity and Buddy teddies for Hants Police.
During these unprecedented times members sitting on the committee have come together virtually, via Zoom video conferencing, and are looking at ways to engage and encourage branch members to stay active while adhering to the latest government advice.
The September meeting has been cancelled and the intended speaker on the Novichok poisonings, will be rescheduled for a later date.
Any further information can be obtained from Liz Hughes, President, telephone : 324753

Goodworth Clatford W.I. Chat Book
Goodworth Clatford WI Chat Book is a unique volume. Over the years nearly every member has written a few lines about themselves which have been gathered together into one volume, often with a photograph. As we have been running for over 90 years, this is a very important piece of our history.
Goodworth Clatford W.I.
Goodworth Clatford WI is a friendly and lively group who would love to welcome new, and especially some younger, members to join us and help us to keep our ideas fresh as we go forward towards our centenary and beyond. Why not come with a friend to one of our Coffee Mornings or our monthly meetings held on the third Tuesday each month at The Village Club or phone Liz Hughes (324753) for more information.
