The Stalham Broads WI

Directions

The Stalham Broads WI The Stalham Broads Women's Institute is a community group for the women of Stalham, Norfolk and the surrounding area.
(1)

We aim to provide education, companionship and support to any woman over the age of 18 years through our regular meetings and events. The Stalham Broads Women's Institute (WI) formed in 2021 to provide the women of Stalham, Norfolk and the surrounding area a place to meet, socialise and support each other. Since forming the group has gone from strength to strength not only helping the women of Stalham but also supporting our local community. We meet regularly on the 2nd Monday of the month at 10:00am (meetings start at 10:15am) in the Stalham Town Hall. We are also part of the much wider WI as part of both the Norfolk Federation of WIs and the National Federation of WI for England, Wales and the Islands. Our ethos is to ensure that all women of all ages are inspired, educated and supported to be the best they can be, we do not discriminate on any grounds and except any woman over the age of 18 into our membership.

A good fundraising day at the Artisan Fair today. We made good profit despite many people not spending which will go towards paying for the various expenses a WI incurs throughout the year. Thank you especially to all the helpers on the day whether it be helping on the stall, providing items to sell or just buying the odd item. It was a bit windy and we very nearly lost the gazebo at one point but the Broadland First Responders who were opposite kindly lent a couple of their weights in exchange for a couple of ours.

Today was our garden party when a group of members, friends, husbands and two Pugs (real ones not the wooden planters) got together for a '4th of July' celebration. We had an 'afternoon tea', including a Norfolk Scone (made using a WI magazine recipe!) , an American themed quiz which had three answers missing 🙃, couple of fundraisers (well you have to have a raffle, we actually had two raffles this year) and lots of chat, mickey taking etc. Thank you to Anne B for allowing us to once again invade her beautiful garden. Oh and despite the big black clouds it stayed dry!😁

Today five of our members ventured into Norwich to view the former home of the Colman Family and that well known brand of mustard at Carrow House. Were we were ably guided round by Chris from the Shoebox Experiences. The house still has a few secrets in the form of locked safes (maybe one contains a secret recipe who knows), two cellars (one of which maybe be haunted) and a beautiful garden area near the Orangery. It was a tour which is highly recommended especially if you are interested in industrial history or local history.

The Norfolk Federation of WIs today put on a 'Tank' Driving day at the Muckleburgh Military Collection, Weybourne. When members of all ages from the young to the young at heart (the oldest driver was 92!!!) had the chance to drive an Armoured Personnel Carrier. This is just one of many activities you can find WI Members getting upto. Who says the WI is full of old ladies, knitters jam makers and bakers!!!

Our walking group visited the near by How Hill today, and were thankful the temperature had dropped to a cool 16 degrees Celsius. Sadly no Swallowtails were spotted but we did see loads of 'happy' Damselflies and Dragonflies as well as a Reed Warbler (which was too shy to have his picture taken).

Back in 2023 The Stalham Broads planted a tiny crab apple sapling to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III by the burial ground in Campingfield Lane. This sapling had spent 12 months sat in a tub in our Secretary's backgarden having arrived initally as just a mere twig (literally it was a single twig with roots) before we were finally able to plant it in it's current location. TWIggy as it was christened has had a couple of scary moments in the last few years (the original sign was destroyed by individuals unknown) but 'she' is still going strong and despite not growing upwards (Crab Apple trees aren't massively tall, we may have got a mini tree by mistake lol) there is plenty of green leaves and fresh shoots on her.
