Goostrey Women’s Institute

Goostrey WI, formed in 1921, has over 50 members who attend meetings in the village hall on the third Wednesday of each month, when they enjoy hearing speakers on a wide variety of topics. Each month members have the opportunity to join a walk, go out to lunch, attend a craft or reading group, play bowls or darts, go on outings and attend classes. Goostrey WI has always contributed to village life, entering the Rose Day celebrations and donating gifts to the village to mark special WI anniversaries. These include a weather vane at the sports field and the beautiful wrought iron village sign on the Bog Bean. Belonging to the Women’s Institute movement, which is non party political and non sectarian, gives members opportunities to make new friends and learn new skills as part of the largest women’s organisations in Great Britain. We are always ready to welcome new members.
