Put off by ‘Jam and Jerusalem’?
We wouldn’t blame you. So are we. Which is why we’re not like that in Penallt WI.
We're a small but very sociable group. We get together on the 1st Thursday of each month at Pelham Hall which is pretty well central for most people in the village. Our meetings are open to members and non-members, male and female. It’s free for members but we charge non-members the princely sum of £2.50 to help with our meeting costs - and to be fair to those who have paid their membership subscriptions! But where can you have a good evening out among friends for less than that!
Because we try to cater for a mixed audience our meetings are less concerned with the notorious '101 ways to use broccoli ' (or whatever it was in Calendar Girls) so we don't have lots of flower arranging or cooking talks, nor do we spend a long time discussing business – if it's not of interest to our particular membership we just don't bother with it. Nor do we sing Jerusalem. We like to get on with the meeting and socialising and then down to the pub.
The meetings programme is published here.
