Happy 5th Birthday WIER!

We had a great evenining at Otto's celebrating, with a magician and a talk about Morrocco.

Here's to many more years to come and a big thank you to our founders Sue Tormey, Shirley Theasby, Hilary Jackson, you have helped to create some wonderful friendships and memories.

Hilary gave us a brilliant ode to WIER which is here again for those who missed it or want to hear it again!


An Ode to WIonER

5 years, Sue Tormey, Shirley Theasby, and I formed a group on Ecclesall Road with the WI
We've had many good times, I'd like to say
With group nights out and weekends away


We've had garden, book and crafting clubs
And what is more
Learned many new skills by the score
Making jams, jellies, cakes and bread making classes
But gin tasting was the best as we all raised our glasses

70 members we now hold most dear
Any thoughts or suggestions what to do next year?
Now calendar girls is not my forte
And joining the running club is far more sporty

Anything else we just might do
Just remember we are the Womens Institute through and through!

The magician provided some great entertainment

Luna Cinema - Top Gun

The weather was certainly kind to us when we ventured out to the Luna Cinema at Sheffield Amphitheatre to watch Top Gun!  It was a bonus to watch the sunset over the city too.



Sunday Stroll - Grindleford to Dore

Thank you to Sue Hughes, Caroline and Kate for organising and guiding us on a lovely sunny walk from Grindleford back to Dore.

We took the train from Dore station to Gindleford, walked up through Padley Gorge into Longshaw...stopping for refreshments at the cafe!  Fully refreshed we carried on to Blackamoor and into Dore, where we had a well earned drink!
