Welcome to the Harwell WI..
We play a unique role in village life as, through us, women of all ages are offered opportunities to enjoy friendship, to learn, to widen their horizons and to take part in issues which matter to us and the community,
It is all there for members to take part in as little or as much as they like.
Our main focus is on monthly meetings, but you will see us involved in many various village events and supporting village life.
Community Projects include
stalls at various events supporting and fund raising for the church, Harwell School, the Harwell Feast and the Village Hall.
We have enjoyed outings to the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Crowmarsh, the River and Rowing Museum in Henley, Gossips guided Tour of Oxford and the Larkrise to Candleford Walk.
We have Science, Arts and Crafts, travel, music, sports and leisure events organised by Oxfordshire Federation of WIs.
These events included the Science lecture by Richard Dawkins, Come to Africa, the Magical Pudding Evening and days out to Chatham and the Gaugin exhibition in London.
We try to cater for all ages and interests, and include practical speakers where we all have a go at making something, including painting seascapes and making a Topiary Tree for Christmas
Denman College
, our national adult education centre in nearby Marcham offers a range of courses on diverse interests.
