Norbury & Roston Women’s Institute meet on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:30pm in the Mary Clowes Hall. At our monthly meetings, we have a range of interesting speakers and delicious refreshments. We also get involved in a wide range of activities throughout the year and offer fun and friendship for anyone who would like to join us.
Recent activities have included visits to Highgrove, JCB and a trip to see Shakespeare at Stratford. We also undertook a 3 day visit to Denman College studying song, dance and digital cameras! Our other activities have included a Jubilee tea, competing in the Ashbourne Show and ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
New members and visitors are always welcome to any of the meetings.
Upcoming Dates:

Works. Our speaker will be Rowena Lovatt from Leek.
The competition is for an item made in satin.
