About Us
Welcome to Brixham WI
We were founded in 1972 and meet on the third Wednesday of every month at Brixham Cricket Club, North Boundary Road, Brixham, TQ5 8LH, in a spacious and comfortable ground-floor room with plenty of car parking. Other events and activities take place at a variety of accessible venues around Brixham.
Our monthly meetings
For our main meeting, the doors open at 1.45pm and the meeting starts at 2pm. This gives you time to buy raffle tickets.
We begin by singing Jerusalem, followed by an interesting speaker or social event. There'll be a small charge for tea, coffee and biscuits, and you'll have a chance to chat with friends.
Our President then brings members up to date with WI news and forthcoming events. Each month there is also an additional activity planned, which might include a visit, craft activity, lunch or something completely different. A board is provided to sign up to the additional activities.
Before the meeting closes, we draw the raffle and announce the winner of our flower competition.
Come along and try us
Visitors will be charged £5 to attend the WI meeting. Visitors can attend up to 2 meetings within a period of 3 months, prior to being asked to pay a subscription.
