OUR FIRST FIVE YEARS

We have had a huge variety of different meetings over our first five years including Bollywood dancing, singing, car maintenance and pumpkin carving.

2012 Meetings

2012 saw the first ever meeting of Old Town Belles (formerly The Swindon WI) and the founding Committee was elected. Click to find out more about what we did in our 2012 meetings and other events.

2013 Meetings

Our meetings in 2013 included a healthy living talk, a singing, dancing and a Halloween make-up demonstration. There was a lot of trepidation about the singing, but it was a great success and we have since repeated it twice! We also held a Summer Garden Party at TWIGS. Click to find out more about what we did in our 2013 meetings and other events.

2014 Meetings

In 2014 we held our first competition: A bake-off, of course! We also had more dancing and a scrap-booking demonstration. A group of members went on a trip to Bournemouth and we so ran 4 successful craft stalls this year. Click to find out more about what we did in our 2014 meetings and other events.

2015 Meetings

We had more dancing in 2015 and it was also the year of the WI Centenary, so we naturally had a birthday party to celebrate! We also held a Barn Dance which was a great success. To raise money for charity and with an aim to improve our fitness, a number of our members also participated in a 1000 mile walk challenge. Click to find out more about what we did in our 2015 meetings and other events.

2016 Meetings

2016 saw us reprising our 1000 mile challenge and our quiz has become an annual event too. We also expanded our bake-off to be a craft-off for the second year. Click to find out more about what we did in our 2016 meetings and other events.
