Sea Palling Waxham & District W.I.

Meetings held on the first Tuesday of every month at Sea Palling Village Hall.
Starting at 7.30 p.m. (Open to non-members, £3.00 on the door).

Sea Palling Waxham and District Women’s Institute was first established in March 1968. Sea Palling W.I. was in fact started in 1928, convening in the village hall as now, put on hold during the war years, as were most W.I.s. It also incorporates the village of Horsey whose institute was established by Mrs. Anthony Buxton of Horsey Hall also during the 30’s. The meetings in Horsey then convened in the Village Hall (A small tin hut in the triangle), the Street Horsey. Since Horsey’s meeting place was demolished the W.I .of Horsey then became part of Sea Palling and Waxham. The current lady of Horsey Hall, Mrs. Bridget Buxton is our current president and has been for several years. Our current membership consists of 10 Sea Palling members, Horsey 6, Waxham 1, and Ludham 1; and a lady from West Somerton who is a dual member

Our meetings are the first Tuesday every month and are open to ladies who we hope will join, but you can just come and give us a try, (we occasionally have men in our audience). Members pay a yearly subscription of £29 and receive the W.I. magazine eight times a year, keeping you informed of the country’s other institutes and the committee’s current ventures and commitments. Sea Palling Waxham & District are a small group of 19 members, we are very friendly, and we’re not quite like Jam and Jerusalem but sometimes, well maybe, you have to laugh!. Our youngest member is 28 and the oldest well, it wouldn’t be right to disclose. We have fun, learn, make friends, do good works, and quite often hide our lights under a bushel.

The next meeting is September 7th
