2025 what a fun-filled year you have been!
As we. Look back on 2025 Burridge and Park Gate WI have been busier than ever. We started the year with 50 of us at Fareham College at our annual Christmas meal.
We have enjoyed our evenings eating wonderful food each month, supporting local pubs and restaurants in the area.
Chrissie, our theatre coordinator secured us wonderful seats at some amazing shows. This year we have seen ballets, Kinky Booots, Mama Mia, Tina Turner and Only Fools and Horses to name but a few.
Our craft group, who meet twice a month have learnt ne skills, made decorations for our Christmas tree displayed at The Brickwork and they came together and made posies for every member to have at our birthday party.
Our walking group have enjoyed some lovely walks some finishing with lunch and drinks. We are so very lucky to live in a beautiful area.
We have enjoyed Kurling, coffee mornings, daytime book club, evening book club, skittles evening and day trips.
This year saw us hold our 2nd fashion show in aid of Rowans Hospice and our main fundraiser. The evening was a huge succeese enabling us to support a wonderful charity.
We ended a year on a high celebrating Turing 70 years old and what a treat we had. A fabulous supper and entertainment from Judy Theabold.
Each month our speaker secitary Jenny, works her magic in securing the most amazing speakers for our monthly meetings.
2026 is shaping up to be even bigger than last year.
None of this would be possible without the enthusiasm, friendship, and support of our wonderful members, committee, and volunteers. Thank you to everyone who gives their time, energy, and ideas so generously — whether organising events, attending activities, or simply being there for one another. It is this sense of community that makes Burridge and Park Gate WI such a special group to be part of. Here’s to another fantastic year together.
