We have several smaller groups that meet regularly. These are run by members of the WI, and all members are welcome to attend. Dates for these activities are listed in our newsletter and discussed at our meetings.
Social Events
A varied selection of evening events, approximately once per month. These include theatre trips, visits to exhibitions and evenings in the pub. Members can sign up for social trips at our regular monthly meetings.
Knit and Natter
We meet every few weeks for tea, cake, a chat and knitting/crafting. Previous projects have included recreating Salts Mill in wool, and knitting aliens for the Saltaire Arts Trail. All are welcome to join us, including complete novices.
Book Groups
We have two active reading groups that meet once a month to discuss a book, chosen by the group or provided by the Bradford Libraries scheme. One group meets in members’ houses on the last Thursday of the month and the other group meets in the pub on the first Monday of the month. Discussions are lively and fun, and all opinions are welcome.
Walking Group
An ad hoc walking group. Our last trip was to Calderdale for the Coiners’ Walk.
WI Gardening Group
Working with Shipley in Bloom, the gardening group has helped to bring sustainable planting to Saltaire and Shipley to enhance the local environment. Last year Shipley was awarded a silver medal by Yorkshire in Bloom. Well done to Nicky and all her team.
