Update – We have reopened with caution according to latest legislation and meetings will be at Coronation Hall.
Heather Duffield (President Mundesley WI)
Mundesley WI was founded in 1923 and is a member of the Norfolk Federation of Women’s Institutes who celebrated their Centenary year in 2019.
Our Mundesley WI meets on the second Monday of the month at Coronation Hall, Mundesley at 7pm till 9pm. Where visitors and new members are warmly welcome to join us.
We have a variety of speakers, craft evenings, entertainment and discussions and organise outings to local places of interest. In January members get together for a New Year’s lunch. We are in the WI darts league and are in the process of setting up a craft club where meetings are held in members’ homes.
We have recently been welcomed as a member of the Nor’easter group of W.I.’s. There are 6 local W.I.’s in the group. Theses are Cromer, Sheringham, Roughton, Holt, Weybourne and Mundesley. Belonging to a group gives us the opportunity to not only widen our circle of friends but to attend extra events with speakers that may otherwise have been unaffordable.
We send delegates to County and National meetings and vote each year on a Resolution to be debated at the National AGM. These Resolutions are matters of national interest for example: Make Time for Mental Health, End Plastic Soup, Carers Welcome, More Midwives, Care not Custody, SOS for Honeybees to mention a few.
Mundesley WI supports local charities, the Cromer food bank and also the ACWW (Associated Countrywomen of the World) which works to raise the standard of living of rural women and promote international friendship. We also take part in community events.
Our meetings are advertised in the local press, Mundesley Library, Tesco and on the notice board opposite the Mundesley Lifeboat Charity Shop in the centre of the village. For further information please telephone 01263 722058.
