Chesterfield Town WI to welcome new members
Chesterfield Town WI is now accepting new members for 2019.
Meetings are held on the 1st Tuesday of every month at Chesterfield Studios on Rose Hill. The next meeting will be held on the 5th of March and the speaker for the night will be Helen from Jetsam Yoga who will be demonstrating some gentle exercise and mindfulness techniques.
Chesterfield Town WI welcomes all women from the age of 18 from all walks of life. Visitors are encouraged to come along to try a meeting before joining as a member. Visitors are asked for £5 donation.
Chesterfield Town WI opened in April 2014 and quickly grew to nearly 55 members. Now as it nears its 5th birthday, many of the founding members are still involved and the group has proved to be a popular WI with a varied schedule of events.
Bex Atkinson (27), President of Chesterfield Town WI says “Joining the WI has kick-started my social life after moving back from University. I’ve made new friends locally and its given me lots of new opportunities, experiences and skills – from camping to wine tasting, bingo to public speaking and joining the Processions march in London to celebrate the centenary of some women getting the vote!”
Member, Clodagh Cahill (28) says of the WI “Having moved to Chesterfield when my daughter was 6 months old, I struggled to get to know people in the area and to settle here. Joining the WI changed that, I suddenly had one night a month that was mine, and I was Clodagh, not mummy. I also joined the committee fairly soon after and credit the WI with changing my outlook on Chesterfield.”
