Castlethorpe Village

Castlethorpe WI celebrated its 80th anniversary at its March 2012 Meeting with a special cake.

Castlethorpe WI is 76 years old. We have 34 members and have been fortunate in the last two years to have some younger ladies join us. We meet on the 2nd Thursday of every month at the Village Hall at 7.45pm.

Our programme is varied. We arrange a Prelude to Christmas every two years in the Church. We have a social afternoon once a month in a member’s home. We are not a ‘Jam and Jerusalem’ WI.

We would be very pleased to welcome visitors to our meetings.

Give us a try – you may find you would like to join us.
