​The next Ladies Lunch will be at 1.00 p.m. on Monday, 14th June, 2025 at a venue to be decided.
The Walking Group
Walks are arranged monthly for any members who wish to join. They are usually fairly easy walks over mostly level ground, not usually exceeding 3 miles.

The Gardening Group
Ringway and Hale Barns WI has had an allotment at the Wellfield Lane Allotment site since August 2021.
It is hoped members will make this a productive and fulfilling project. Produce is sold at our monthly meetings for a nominal sum.
​
Any help that members can give to keep the allotment going would be greatly appreciated, even if it is only watering the plot for us in the summer.
​
To have any success with our produce from the allotment, we need to feed and water all the plants on a regular basis, so if anyone is interested in gardening and would like to join us, we would be very happy to see you.
The Cinema/Garrick Club
Arrangements are made for our members to meet at the cinema or Garrick playhouse to see a film or play. These meetings are ad hoc, dependent upon whether there are any films or events that members are interest in.
