The Gloucester Road WI was formed in North Bristol in 2011 and had grown to 120 members by 2014. They meet at 8pm on the third Tuesday of every month, that involves an activity or speaker, they try to keep the meetings varied ranging from making paper flowers, to wine-tasting to talks from members of the UN!
Each year they also run a number of fundraising activities, to raise money for their chosen charity of the year. They have regular clubs and groups that meet outside the monthly meetings such as a Book Club, a Knit & Stitch Club and a Dinner Club.
Membership runs annually from January. In 2015, membership costs £36 but the fee is pro-rata if you join later in the year. Women are welcome to come along as a visitor, attending up to 3 times a year for £4 per meeting before committing to membership. They meet on the third Tuesday of each month. Doors open at 7.30pm for 8pm start at St. Andrew’s Bowling Club, Derby Road, Bristol, BS7 9AQ.
