Why do you have WI business
at each meeting?
We have a short business update at meetings about forthcoming events put on by our branch, by the South Yorkshire Federation, or by the WI nationally. This part of the meeting is usually done within 10minutes as we are always keen for the main speaker to start as soon as possible!
How can I join?
At the moment membership has had to be closed to new members as we are at capacity and have a waiting list of people wishing to join. Annual membership costs £36.00. This covers a year's meetings. If you wish to be added to the waiting list, please email wioner@hotmail.co.uk.
Why are Non-member numbers capped?
Non-members, like members, are capped because of venue capacity restrictions...
