Collingham Women’s Institute

Meeting Information

Day: 3rd Tuesday of the month
Venue: Mayfield Room, Memorial Hall, High Street
Time: 7.30pm – 9.30pm

Visitors are most welcome to come and join us at any time to see what we do – and we promise it’s not all Jam and Jerusalem. The membership covers a wide range of ages from, 30 something to 80 plus, so what ever your age you will find someone of a similar era. Just come along and meet us all and see how many new friends you will make.

We do not sing Jerusalem as a general rule at our meetings nor do we have a fixed format – each month we vary the format, depending on the programme.
Annual Subs: £27. Visitors welcome. Raffle every month.
