Venue: Winsley Village Hall 2nd Thursday of each month

Winturwell WI was started in 1967, combining the villages of Winsley, Turleigh and Conkwell. Residency of these villages is not a criterion for membership – we currently have members who live in Bradford on Avon, Limpley Stoke and Freshford.

Winturwell is affiliated to Wiltshire Federation and the National Federation of Women’s Institutes.  This provides ample opportunity for social and educational events both locally and further afield, including zoom courses from Denman.

The WI is a non-sectarian, non-party political organisation though we have a proud history, since our first National President in 1917, of successfully lobbying parliament on issues and resolutions raised and voted upon by our members.  We value our traditions but are open to new ideas and challenges.

Whilst membership and most meetings are confined to women, some of our events and outings are open to members’ family and friends.  Guests are always welcome.

The main meeting is on the second Thursday of the month at 7.30 pm in Winsley Village Hall with the book group and walking group meeting during the month.  We also have a friendly skittles evening which usually meets monthly from October to March.  The main meeting usually includes a guest speaker and always time for refreshments and a chat with other members.

There are no initiation ceremonies, no rituals, no rites of passage.  Simply visit and, if you decide you like us, just sign-up and pay your subs!

At BAWAS you will:

• try a variety of wines at a reasonable cost
• hear knowledgeable speakers from the wine trade
• buy wine at discounted prices
• be invited to other ad hoc events

Meetings are held on Monday evenings.

There is no need to have any previous experience.

Above all, we aim to make our tastings fun but informative.

Introducing “The Nightingales of Winsley”

We are Winsley’s amateur dramatic group and members of the National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA). We re-formed in 2017 to stage a fund-raising pantomime (‘Cinderella Rockerfella’) for the school and have continued since having lots of fun (too much?!) whilst also raising funds for Dorothy House Hospice and the Acorns pre-school group.

We completed our 4^th pantomime (‘Ever After’) in March this year. This was our fifth show as last Summer instead of a pantomime we staged the children’s story ‘The Scarecrows’ Wedding’.

We are always looking for new members both young and old and given that I had never been on stage before that first pantomime in 2017 I can tell you what a great experience it is, with no prior experience necessary, and with a huge number of roles available to get involved with- be it front of house, on stage, backstage or helping with the technical stuff.

Do drop me a line if you are interested!
