DECEMBER 2024
We enjoyed a truly delightful and festive evening creating door and fireside swags using freshly foraged winter foliage. Bustling with creativity and colour, berries and bows, it’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas...
Aren't these beautiful?

What a fantastic, festive evening we had at our Christmas Wine & Food Tasting which welcomed our members and their male guests. A huge thank you to Richard from Haslemere Cellar for introducing us to exquisite wines – sparkling, white, red, dessert wine and port – along with a most delicious selection of British and European cheeses, salamis, smoked salmon and Serrano ham. Last on the menu was Christmas pudding made by Crosbie's Cakes in Wormley.
Our Christmas miracle was the swift transformation of the Pirrie Hall from a nursery school into a fine dining experience. Thank you for all your support with this sold-out event and for your help in closing down at the end, we couldn't have done it without you.

Thank you so much to Abi from Mane Chance Sanctuary for the beautiful presentation, there was not a dry eye in the house. Mane Chance rescues abused and neglected horses and ponies, providing them with care and rehabilitation. In turn, these animals become part of community programs that offer respite, educational and mental health support for individuals facing life’s challenges.

We had an amazing launch event on 3 September 2024. We learnt about our rich local WI history, our new WI ethos and our programme of events for the next 18 months. We can't wait to watch WIBS grow from strength to strength.
