WELCOME TO THE SOUTHWELL WI
Southwell WI
The WI came to the UK from Canada in 1915. Southwell WI formed in 1917 was the first WI to be formed in Nottinghamshire. Things have moved on quite a bit since then. There are now well over 100 WIs in Nottinghamshire and over 212,000 WI members around the country. As well as the events we organise and enjoy with our own WI members there are other events run at different levels of the organisation.
