Ely City WI

​

I am delighted to have been elected as President of Ely City WI.    We are a friendly, fun-loving and caring group of women with a wealth of life experiences shared between us.  

​

We meet 11 times a year, on the second Wednesday of the month, when we enjoy a varied programme of speakers, craft demonstrations and workshops as well as games nights and quizzes, not to mention spending time socialising. We do not hold a formal meeting in August, but a social evening is held, usually with an activity.

 

We have many sub-groups catering to members’ interests – book groups, gardening groups and craft groups (each of these have one daytime and one evening group), Diners Club, Café and Chat which makes use of the many cafes in Ely) and some enthusiastic quizzers.

 

We are very involved in the Ely and the surrounding communities:  we provided tea and cakes for the VE80 celebration at St Mary’s as well as baking cakes for other functions in the city and we provided volunteers to assist at the Papworth Hospital Carol Service in the cathedral in December 2025.  We hold an annual fundraising quiz (open to non-members) which is well attended and much enjoyed by all participants. We also assemble our annual poppy display on the railings of Market Square and Sessions House.  Members always get involved in these activities with enthusiasm.  Do look at our Facebook and Instagram accounts for pictures of our various activities.

 

Our membership is currently at capacity but if you would like to go on our waiting list do get in touch at elycitywi@yahoo.com – we look forward to meeting you!​
