W.I Trip July 2023


This month’s adventure for the WI was a trip across from Plymouth to Drake’s Island where they had a guided tour around the island.

The weather stayed good and the 20 minute crossing in a small boat was smooth, the island guide was friendly and informative. The eco system of the island was full of birdsong with butterflies and bees in abundance.

The old brickwork of the tunnels and the ammunition stores was amazing but you definitely need a torch. 

Everyone enjoyed their picnics surrounded by cannons. It was agreed by all that it was a worthwhile and excellent day out.

South Hill W.I news update


South Hill W.I.

At the beginning of June a coffee and cake morning was held and invited cycling groups to drop into the parish hall at Golberdon and raised £250 for Prostate cancer.

Later in June some ladies put on their best hats and spent the housekeeping on a horse as we enjoyed the Ladies night at Newton Abbot races.

July saw us spend a morning with the Royal Navy as we went down vertical ladders into the decommissioned nuclear submarine HMS Courageous.

We used our crafting skills when we won the W.I. cooperative display at the Liskeard show depicting Minions.

WILogoSouth Hill Womens Institute meeting held on 2nd September

Our speaker for the evening was Mrs Anthea Lay, local artist who appeared on The Great British Painting Competition on BBC T.V. She told us of how she first started at a young age, being encouraged by both of her teacher parents providing her the materials she needed, also having to use whatever she could lay her hands on at times! This developed her love of painting.
