Stoney Stanton WI

Stoney Stanton WI A dedicated page to the Stoney Stanton branch of the WI, designed to keep you up to date with all the fun we get up too. For all ladies aged over 18.

Every individual WI meets at least once a month and there is usually a speaker, demonstration or activity at every meeting for members to learn and develop a range of different skills. Craft has always played an important role in the WI and thousands of members are involved in a range of different crafts across England and Wales. The Women's Institute is often associated with food, cooking and hea

lthy eating, and food and cooking form an important part of the WI's history
Women's Institutes (WI) are British community-based organisations for women. The WI movement was formed in 1915 in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, Anglesey Wales.[1] It had two clear aims: to revitalise rural communities and to encourage women to become more involved in producing food during the First World War. Since then the organisation's aims have broadened and it is now the largest women's voluntary organisation in the UK. The organisation celebrated its 95th anniversary in 2010 and currently has approximately 208,000 members in 7,000 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. Stoney Stanton is a busy and successful WI, with members ranging from in their 20's to in their 80's. Everything from Strawberry and Wine to theatre trips are a regular on our calendar.

It was wonderful to have the doors open this evening and a fabulous talk from Janet gave many of us a pause of reflection and contemplation.

We are however organising a trip to Melbourne Hall and Gardens on Tuesday 25th August. If you weren't here tonight and would like to come along please get in touch.

Wow! What a fantastic carnival and turn out from the villagers for 2026 💚

We are so honoured that our suffragettes were awarded first place in the walking groups.

Thank you to our members that walked for us today and those that support our WI and lots of community projects in the village all year round.

A huge thank you to the Stoney Stanton Carnival committee for putting this amazing event together every year.

A fabulous meeting with wonderful crafts made led by the fantastic and very patient Vicki.

Members have been holding out on their crafting skills as some beautifully sewn bowls and brooches were made along with some very pretty handcrafted cards.

Lots of laughs, chatter and cake and tea was had despite the cooler than average June evening.

It is our June meeting this Wednesday, where is the time going?

Set to be a great meeting we have the fabulous Vicki coming along to take us through a craft. No doubt we will be giggling at our varied craft abilities.

Cake/biscuits, tea, crafting and laughter - what more could you want from your WI?

Visitors always welcome to see what we are about 😀

A wonderful spread prepared by Viv for our meeting this evening.

We were small but mighty in number tonight with various members away and the weather no doubt putting some off.

Resolutions were voted on, trips were discussed, plans made for our walking group in the carnival and we nattered in the kitchen while trying to keep warm.

Hopefully June's meeting brings a higher temperature as we will be doing hand on crafts 👌
