Hemyock WI is growing from strength to strength and we have welcomed several new members this year.  We have an entertaining new programme and would welcome even more people to our meetings.  Details of our programme appear in the calendar section. 

We have recently enjoyed a wine tasting evening and an outing to the theatre to see Starlight Express.

One of the wettest years on record and communities being cut off can be bad news for people who need to get to the shops or pay bills.  Shopping online can reduce the number of journeys you make and even save you money by widening your choices.

Over the next few weeks, the Silver Surfers Café will be focusing on safe and secure, online shopping. 

Sessions are very casual and there is no need to book a place or commit to coming every week.

• keep your personal information safe;
