Saddleworth WI

Saddleworth WI welcomes women of all ages for friendship and to join us for interesting and fun speakers, demonstrations, discussions, social events and trips.

Our members also pursue their varied interests in our many sub groups.

Run by women like you for women like you!

If you wish to become a member email us for details.

New members and visitors are welcome at most WI meetings which take place on the first Wednesday of the month. We meet from 7.00pm for a 7.30pm start and meetings usually end around 9.30pm.

Our new venue is Boarshurst Band Club, Greenbridge Lane, Greenfield OL3 7EW.

Visitors pay £3 to help pay for running costs and refreshments. Visitors may attend three meetings, before deciding upon membership.

MEMBERS: Take a look at our Members’ Zone where you will find a variety of useful forms and information to download.

“I love this branch of WI.
The ladies are friendly, warm and full of fun.”

See our Meetings Programme for details of 2022 and 2023 speakers

CAN YOU HELP YOUR COMMITTEE?
The current committee is depleted though sickness, work and holiday commitments and we are concerned that we won’t be able to maintain the level of activities that makes Saddleworth WI such a success. Is there anyone able to join us to spread the work load please? It doesn’t matter how long you have been a member as we are all learning as we go along and you’ll get loads of support!  Please CONTACT US  if you would like to know more or to get involved. Thanks.

Our venue for our monthly meetings is BOARSHURST BAND CLUB, GREENBRIDGE LANE, GREENFIELD OL3 7EW. There is a private car park behind the club and plenty of street parking. The entrance is from the car park. There is a bar available and we have bought compostable cups for our hot drinks, but please bring your own mug if you prefer. The Manager, Linda, has made us very welcome and will be running the bar for us with drinks at Band Club prices so we hope our members will support her. 

The speakers for 2023 are now on our Meetings Programme page.
