Great fun on Monday evening at Clavio Lounge when WI members participated in a fun (and highly rewarding for Vanessa and Anne) Bingo session. Very well organised and an enjoyable evening for all.

🦙✨ The Accidental Alpaca Breeder ✨🦙

Join us for our next Afternoon WI meeting as we welcome guest speaker Nikki Grant with her entertaining and heart warming talk, “The Accidental Alpaca Breeder.”

What began as a dream to escape city life and find a peaceful piece of countryside soon turned into an unexpected adventure in alpaca breeding! Nikki will share the story of how a chance encounter with a particularly friendly alpaca led to a complete lifestyle change — and eventually a thriving herd.

Alpacas are intelligent, curious and gentle animals, loved for their calm nature and luxurious fleece. Nikki’s talk will give us a fascinating insight into their personalities, care and the joys (and challenges!) of rural life surrounded by these wonderful creatures. 💛

🗓 Wednesday 10th June
⏰ 2pm

Check out the new rebranded WI magazine! 💚

It is finally here - our newly rebranded WI Magazine: and a new way to provide you deep-dives and longer interviews on all things NFWI.

Fittingly for a summer issue, we present 10 pages on beach life, and spotlight some wonderful coastal WIs. We've also got a new section where your questions are answered by a WI panel in 'WIsdom'; a piece on slow crafting; and all your favourites from recipes to campaign updates.

We really hope you enjoy your new magazine, and that you find it a great read for the summer!

✨💛 An Evening Full of Friendship, Fun & Celebration 💛✨

Tuesday evening’s meeting perfectly captured the spirit of Petersfield WI — a wonderful atmosphere filled with friendship, laughter and community as members and visitors came together to celebrate another successful year.

Following a quick AGM round-up and officers’ reports, we were delighted to welcome Stevie Pearce, who treated us to a fascinating whistle-stop tour through the history of costume jewellery. From the worlds of fashion, film and television, there were some truly beautiful vintage pieces to admire 💎✨

Mel and her brilliant refreshments team kept everyone well supplied with fizz and delicious nibbles as the room buzzed with conversation and catch-ups.

The evening also included a hilariously competitive mass game of Rock, Paper & Scissors, with the final two contestants battling it out over three dramatic rounds to much cheering and laughter! 😄

A particularly special moment came as we announced the very first recipients of the new Petersfield WI Personal Development Bursaries, selected live using a random computer draw. These bursaries will support members with courses, workshops and training opportunities that reflect the WI values of education, friendship and community. 💛

Huge thanks also to our generous raffle donors Slade Farm Asparagus, Stevie Pearce and Beauty by Ellie for their wonderful prizes.

An evening that truly showcased the warmth, vibrancy and joy of being part of Petersfield WI ✨
