Monthly Meetings
We meet on the last Thursday of the month to listen to speakers or enjoy a workshop - whatever we're up to you'll always learn something new! Our programme is set by our members, who make suggestions throughout the year and participate in an annual survey so the committee know what people want to see.
To give you a taster, previous workshops have included willow weaving, mosaic making, crafting Dorset buttons, making Beeswax covers, soap carving, sketching and many more besides. We've had speakers on Victorian true crime, the history of beer, Kew Gardens, Crystal Palace, clothing at Hampton Court and the story of the first female factory inspectors in the UK. We've also heard wonderful stories from Judge Barbara Mensah, the inimitable John Brown of the Streatham Society, and - memorably - the late, great Cynthia Payne.
Spin off groups
Members of Streatham WI are also able to join our groups, which meet regularly. Currently we have a book club, wine club, creative writing salon, film club, Pins & Needles (our craft group), a coffee morning, regular walking events and Meet & Eat (a regular trip to the latest food offering on Streatham High Road!) Find more details on the Groups tab.
And there's more...
Annual Seaside day out - One of the highlights of the Streatham WI calendar! Over the years we've visited Brighton, Rochester, Eastbourne, Portsmouth, Southend-on-Sea, and Margate - we're on a mission to enjoy as much of the beautiful British seaside as we can easily reach from South London.
Annual residential trip - members have enjoyed nights away in Scarborough, Poole and the Isle of Wight.
Denman College - WI members are able to book courses at the WI College in Oxfordshire and members of Streatham WI are regulars at the "Surrey Weekender" held every July.
