Worksop Wonders WI face to face meetings have resumed with great success. We have gained new members and the group is steadily growing.
So far a speaker at the September meeting inspired us to be "Coloured Beautiful ".
Octobers meeting,Wednesday 13 th, saw a visit from the Notts Blood bikes.
This year Worksop Wonder is the lead WI group for the Sherwood and Ryton group of WI's.
We held an afternoon tea to celebrate the 106 th birthday of WI, which was lovely to meet other members from across the areas WIs
Our curling team took part in the annual North Nottinghamshire indoor curling event.
We were definitely out of practice, but it was a fun night. Maybe next year we will have improved our bowling technique!
The weekly craft sub- group is meeting at Thievesdale again, which I am sure will create more beautiful items.
Our walking sub-group is busy planning some winter walks that I am sure will involve a coffee shop stop off on the way.
In October, we had a Sunday trip to Cannon Hall for a tour followed by afternoon tea, which was a great success.
Trips to the Pilgrim Ladies exhibition in Lincoln and also to Nottingham for a Christmas Special event at John Lewis were enjoyed.

May 2021 Update
Worksop Wonders WI decided to accept the "Move for Nottinghamshire Mind challenge", supporting a local charity and also to join in the Nottingham WI Federation "Miles for May" event.
Worksop Wonders members have undertaken both individual walks and also ran programmes of small group walks for all abilities during May.
It's been such a success and enjoyable activity. We all feel both mentally and physically better for doing this.
It was a real confidence boost to return to socializing again after the isolation of lock down
During May despite the showers, many members of Worksop Wonders WI have been out and about clocking up the miles for the Miles for May event
We were hoping that we would walk 500 miles in May but we have smashed that by weeks weeks 3
That's like walking from Lands End to Dumfries.
We are now planning to hold a group walk on a regular basis.
