Events Calendar
All talks and the AGM take place in the WI Hall in Crookham Village, starting at 7.30pm. The WI Hall is located at the rear of the Crookham Street Social Club - post code GU51 5SJ for satnav users.
Please park on the gravel area by the WI Hall, not on the Social Club’s tarmac area.
These social evenings are very popular, helped along with a glass of wine (or soft drink) & food provided free of charge! The current cost for the evening is £3 for members (no charge for the AGM). Non-members are welcome and are asked to contribute £4.
After the AGM has finished, attendees are able to take advantage of the gathered experts in the room when we traditionally hold an informal Q&A session.

I am delighted to say that our member Helen Baker, who helps at Wisley, has very kindly agreed to be our guide. As the Society is affiliated to the RHS we are able to take a group of our members free of charge to visit Wisley. Please meet in the main entrance. Helen will take us on a morning tour after which you can stay all day and bring a picnic or enjoy the café/restaurants in the garden. |
