WHEATLEY WOMEN’S INSTITUTE
Wheatley W.I. was
founded over 50 years ago.
It has always
maintained a sizable membership; at present we have about 40 ladies who all take
an active part one way or another. We have several valued members from other
villages especially Sturton, Leverton, and Hayton, also some from Bawtry and
Doncaster!
We meet on the second
Monday of each month when we usually have a speaker to address us. Topics are
many and varied, covering many different subjects from travel talks to
photography to Anne Boleyn in person!
We organise outings
through the year e.g. theatre visits and historic houses. Of course many of our
functions include wonderful food e. g The Senior Citizen’s tea and sometimes a
Harvest Supper and then a Christmas lunch at a local hostelry.
Our President at the
moment is Mrs. Judith Goacher of North Wheatley; Mrs. Sue Bartle is our Secretary and
our long-standing Treasurer is Mrs. June Wright. These ladies ably supported by
a very active Committee run the proceedings.
We are a very happy
bunch of ladies, always delighted to welcome new additions to our number so
those of you who are not of our number—consider treating yourself to a Monday
night out in your own area—you will be surprised how much fun and laughter we
share!
July 2010 -Members are sad to learn of the passing of Sandra Grice who was an extremely valued member of the W.I. and will be greatly missed by all.
