What about membership?
Thinking of joining us?
If you are interested in joining Plymouth City WI, you are very welcome to come along to one of our meetings as our guest. It’s an opportunity to meet everyone and experience one of our meetings before you decide. For more information, contact plymouthCity@devonwi.org.uk.

What do I need to know about membership?Being a WI member opens the door to lasting friendships, shared learning, and the joy of growing together in a welcoming community. The WI membership year starts in April and finishes the following March. For new members joining part the way through a year, the WI annual membership fee is prorated on a sliding scale. Information about membership fees can be found here: Subscription rates | National Federation of Women's Institutes. The WI subscription fee includes eleven Plymouth City WI monthly meetings (see Our programme), plus access to all Our clubs and groups. Part of what you pay goes to the WI National Federation, who publish WI Life (a monthly members’ magazine) - see Look inside the magazine | National Federation of Women's Institutes. And part of the subscription goes to our local Devon Federation, who provide an online newsletter and news updates of all WI events happening locally. *Events like outings and socials, or where a club activity includes a cost, are charged on a pay as you go basis. |
