The Uckfield Divas WI were established from a very large interest meeting in February 2016. That evening there were more ladies than anyone expected. It soon became very clear to all that there was a need to start up two groups from all those present.
A few like minded, enthusiastic and perhaps a "little nuts" volunteered. We met in March 2016, formed a committee, found a venue, started planning speakers, organising different sub groups ( book club, craft group, community group ) as well as social events - “Uckfield Divas WI”was born. Our aim is to set an environment where women who want to share and learn have somewhere to do so in a friendly environment. Whether you would like to perfect a new skill or just met some new friends we hope that you will enjoy being part of something special. |
We meet on the third Wednesday of every month at
The Cinque Ports Club in Uckfield and in addition to our monthly meetings we provide spin off groups such as a book club, walking group or just a social evening and many more activities. |
