The Beeston WI

Take a look back at what a year 2020 was in our latest blog post. beestonwi.co.uk/post/2020-what… Despite the many challenges, we had a fabulous WI year!

Tonight local artist Janet Barnes challenges us to draw or paint a still life. Time to channel your inner Georgia O'Keeffe! Can't wait to see your creations.

It's tomorrow! Something to keep us motivated through deepest January. The inspirational Cassie Salter from SUPFitness joins us to explore how to make 2021 great! supfitness.co.uk

We're looking forward to doing it all again, starting on January 27th. More details soon!

Happy New Year! Here's to better days to come. May 2021 bring you health, happiness & friendship. What are you most looking forward to in #2021?

@frances_quinn another huge thank you from the members of Beeston WI @WIBeeston for such a wonderful demonstration on Wednesday evening! What a treat it was! #marzipanbees #XmasTreats

@frances_quinn in my kitchen! Thank you so much for the lesson in marzipan bee making! Such a lovely evening @WIBeeston. We loved your engaging stories and baking tips... and the bees are delicious! 🐝🐝🐝 My children love them! Xxx

It's tonight! We're super excited to welcome @frances_quinn to our first ever Great Beeston WI Bake Along! #GBBO francesquinn.co.uk

This might be a long-shot, but who knows? We are looking to find a writer in Notts who is originally from Dunedin, New Zealand (a fellow City of Literature) for a diaspora project. If you are, or know anyone who fits that description, let us know contactus@nottmcityoflit.org

Next week on 13 November, it'll be #WorldKindnessDay. Remember the fantastic lonely bouquets that some of you did? We can't organise the labels this year, but let us know about any acts of kindness that you show or receive ❤️❤️❤️

Research shows that for #Halloween 24 million pumpkins will be bought to carve, but 12.7 million will not use the flesh inside of the pumpkin, adding to the UK’s mountain of avoidable food waste.🎃 1/3

With Stella's fashion industry experience, she'll make a great addition to our board of trustees! Thanks to another year of support from various @WomensInstitute branches in Notts and @sinottingham1. Women rock!! 💜💜

@WIBeeston @OperationOrphan @StellaClaxton has just become one of our trustees! For our clothing donations please concentrate if possible on our high need items: hats, scarves, gloves, mens and womens jogging bottoms, teenage clothing and #SecretPantsa campaign below. Thank you.

And don't forget - we're also collecting clothing for @SharewearNotts and @OperationOrphan

Have you got your item(s) ready for the @WIBeeston virtual swish? On Facebook, post at least one item to enable you to 'win' any other item posted. For ONE WEEK ONLY! It's fun, environmentally friendly, completely free and local ... what's not to love!

It's tonight! We're looking forward to welcoming @stellaclaxton to our online meeting, where we'll be discussing the truth behind the fast fashion industry. Check your email for the zoom link!

@WAWomens That's great! We've welcomed new members during lockdown too. Shows the importance to all of us of being part of a community - even if that community's temporarily online ❤️

We’re so pleased to have added 4 new members so far since lockdown. Might not seem much, but we’re a small WI in a market town, so it’s a real achievement! ❤️

With 134 winners in the East Midlands, we're so fortunate to have such wonderful places to support our wellbeing in these challenging times.

So pleased that one of the local charities we support has received this award, very well deserved!
