August 2024

After a busy July, Brockenhurst WI have a quieter August.

We don’t have a Meeting in August nor do the Lunch Club or walk take place. But there are still lots to do!

Rita is continuing to hold bandage making sessions for Ukraine on Wednesday mornings from 10am-12 noon. Please consider giving Rita a couple of hours of your time, either at these sessions or by helping in your own home at a time to suit you. Contact us for more details and the location.

Darts Practice sessions will continue on Thursday mornings at 11am at the Foresters Arms, Brookley Road, Brockenhurst. All welcome to join in. 

Our annual summer outing takes place on Monday 12th August and all those who have signed up should now have been contacted with a pick-up time.

Now is a great time to turn your creative thoughts to the Brockenhurst Group Show where we compete against local WI”s, which takes place on 30th November 2024. Take a look at the schedule here.
