Wootton WI

Christmas Fayre in Wootton, Northants ready and waiting. Come along 10.30 - 2.00.

It’s this week! Wootton Northamptonshire. See you there.

Please note this is Wootton Northamptonshire.

Our beautiful Christmas Tree for the Tree festival at St George’s. Our theme this year was ‘The Natural World’. Still available to view today.

Photos from our excellent Fayre today. A big thank you to the organisers, helpers and stall holders. A thank you to all those who attended too.

Please note - This is Wootton Northampton.

Voting is open for the famous Trafalgar Square 'Fourth Plinth' commission, & we would love Ruth Ewan’s ‘Believe in Discontent’ to win the coveted space – for Londoners and tourists alike to enjoy & admire.

Ruth’s proposed black cat sculpture is a wonderful play on the representation of women throughout history – from the accused witch’s familiar, to put-downs of women as being "catty". But placed with the words of Suffragist Charlotte Despard, it is a playful symbol of female power and resistance! Despard believed in “discontent” as she put it; “a disinclination to sit idly, knowing things are wrong” – and that so beautifully represents the WI movement.

You can place your vote online until 12 March: https://www.london.gov.uk/programmes-strategies/arts-and-culture/current-culture-projects/fourth-plinth-trafalgar-square/fourth-plinth-commissions/your-fourth-plinth-vote

For a second year running Richmond Village Northampton hosted our Annual Dinner. 19 members spent a fun evening wining and dining. Good food and good company. A great way to spend a January evening. Thank you to all the staff for making us welcome and making the evening go so smoothly.

This is Wootton WI tree at the Christmas Tree Festival at St George the Martyr Church, Wootton. The hats and scarves were then given to The Hope Centre, Prem Babies unit at Northampton General Hospital and EVE.
