Radnage WI

If the WI’s main aims are to educate, enlighten and entertain, Radnage WI
certainly fulfils the brief!

We have rolled up our sleeves, baked, cooked and manned the tables.
We have set up and packed away, been entertained, informed and
educated and above all, we have laughed and enjoyed each others
company in the time honoured way that Radnage WI has done for almost
100 years.

WIs can vary so do pop in to see us. We meet on the first Wednesday of
each month (except January) in Radnage Village Hall 7.15pm for a 7.30pm
start. Everyone is welcome and if you let us know you’re coming, we can
make sure we look out for you – contact Jane Wass on 01494 482046 or email
us at radnage.wi@outlook.com. We look forward to hearing from you.

We’re certainly not all ‘jam and Jerusalem’ and enjoy the social side of meeting
other ladies. Our members range in age from 35 to 90 and our
interests expand and become more diverse as membership grows.

As a WI member, you will enjoy a varied programme. Our 2026 Programme
can be found here:Programme 2026

If any of the items on our Programme interests other members of your family or
friends (male or female!) then please do invite them to join us for the evening.
They would be very welcome. There is a visitors fee of £5.00 which includes
refreshments.

Members are welcome and encouraged to join the Committee. Committee
meetings are held once a month.

Each WI holds eleven meetings a year and if you would like to, you can also
get involved in the various regional and national level events and activities.Your
membership entitles you to eight copies a year of the WI membership
magazine, WI Life, as well as regular newsletters and mailings to keep you up
to-date with all the news and events from your federation and the NFWI. The
annual membership subscription for 2026, starting in April,is £47 (pro rata if
joining later in the year)

If you are unable to commit the time to attending all WI meetings you could
become an NFWI Associate instead. You can find more details on the WI
website (www.thewi.org.uk ).

About the WI

The Women’s Institute (WI) was formed in 1915 to revitalise rural
communities and encourage women to become more involved in
producing food during the First World War. Since then the organisation’s
aims have broadened and the WI is now the largest voluntary women’s
organisation in the UK. The WI celebrated its centenary in 2015 and
currently has around 220,000 members in around 6,500 WIs.

The WI plays a unique role in providing women with educational
opportunities and the chance to build new skills, to take part in a wide
variety of activities and to campaign on issues that matter to them and
their communities.
