Welcome

Hartest W.I. is a small and friendly group of about 24 members. Many of them may be jam or cake making 'aficionados' but their interests and skills are far wider than this and their life experiences rich and diverse. We arrange a variety of speakers and activities for our monthly meetings, including taster sessions,demonstrations and craft events when we can try our hand at or join in with something unfamiliar or a potential new pastime.Our aim is to make the evenings fun and enjoyable and to prove it you will find that our meetings are frequently punctuated by gales of laughter.

We organise additional visits out during the year for members; to date these have included garden visits (with afternoon tea of course!), walking quizzes, guided tours and boat trips as well as 'taster' sessions from fencing to quilting. We are practiced fund raisers and members have supported the Air Ambulance, Hearings Dogs for the Deaf and women in the developing world by collecting loose change, used stamps and holding a biennial and hugely popular jumble sale.

We offer a very warm welcome to guests and invite you to come and get to know us at one of our meetings. Just come along - second Thursday of each month, Boxted & Hartest Institute, The Green, Hartest, at 7.30 pm.
