Saddleworth WI

The Saddleworth WI provides the opportunity for women of all ages to enjoy interesting speakers, watch demonstrations, participate in social events and trips, engage in lively discussions, pursue their interests in our many sub groups and hopefully make life-long friends.

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 venue is The Oak Room at The White Hart Inn, 51 Stockport Road, Lydgate, Oldham OL4 4JJ

Members pay £1 and visitors pay £3 to help pay for running costs and refreshments. Visitors may attend two meetings before deciding upon membership.

You may have read recently in the WI Life magazine that one of our NFWI Resolutions for 2019 is ‘A call against the decline in local bus services’.

Buses are vital, locally they are used for 3 out of 4 public transport journeys but bus use is falling. Greater Manchester Combined Authority believes that buses can be improved and we are the first city-region to consult on a proposed bus franchising scheme.

At our November meeting we had representatives from Transport for Greater Manchester who spoke to us briefly about the consultation that was launched on 14th October and runs until 8th January 2020. We are encouraged to complete their online questionnaire. The link is:
