Hello! and a super welcome to Cam City WI! 

 

I'll say, right off the bat, that this website just scratches the surface of our awesome WI.  I highly recommend you come along to one of our monthly meetings and join the fun in person!

​

I became President in April 2019, but I had already been on the Committee for three years before that. I really do love being committed to delivering my part of the 'behind the scenes' action of our WI - with communications, social media and the website all being my 'babies' - aside from standing up in front of our lovely members each month.  

​

It takes a good deal of motivation and a great set of committee members to keep our WI going, keeping our ideas fresh and our ears open to the membership.  

​

I joined Cam City WI in 2014, and I've loved every second. This is especially because of the opportunities it has brought me and the friendships I've developed.  I will admit, I am one of the loud ones, but I am not one to worry 'too' much if I don't end up being your 'cup of tea' - the beauty of our WI is the mix of personalities you will find and how welcoming we will all be.

​

Meeting new people, finding out new things, developing new skills and being in a supportive network are the real benefits of joining our WI (or the WI in general!).  We have  close links to our other city centre WI's - especially the Cambridge Blue Belles - it's highly likely you will find even more friends through our joint activities.  You can even become 'dual members' with multiple WI's.

​

If you take a look at our 'What We Did' pages, you will get a great sense of the range of things we get up to! Some of my favourites have been our special events like the Glass Etching workshops, Tea & Tents, the Brancaster Weekenders, our Astronomy Night and developing a charity CAKE Beer with Calverley's Brewery! Plus our 'Club du Fromage' Silent Disco, the Mocktail Baking session and the 'Meet the Lady Plumber' talk!  

​

Our current committee is working on a rolling year programme of excellent monthly meetings - make sure you take a peek once in a while to see what's coming up!

 

And, guess what!? The monthly meetings aren't the only things we do! If you like a club, we could have one for you - Book Club, Craft Club, Docco Film Club and Walking Club! These are regular meet-ups and basically do exactly what they say on the tin! 

​

Is there anything more I can say to tempt you to come along?! Oh yes! (the staple of the WI)... if you LOVE cake, you will love our meetings ;)

​

Looking forward to meeting you soon!
