About Us
We are a well established WI Group having been set up in 1938 and have evolved into the thriving group of today with members of all ages and interests, from crafting to baking, gardening to reading and walking to watching movies.
​
Our Coffee Catch Up is a chance for us to get together for a coffee at the Thatcham Garden Centre at 10.30am on the 4th Saturday of each month but do check the Calendar on the Home page as occasionally this changes due to other events on that day and Bank Holidays. We're also starting up a mid-week get together at The Hidden Gem Café in the Alice Bye Centre in Thatcham - details are in the Calendar on the Home page
​
Click here for pictures of our regular Monthly Meetings which are on the second Thursday in every month at the Catholic Church Hall, Bath Road, Thatcham at 7.30pm when we either have a speaker or celebration events. Please see our 2026/27 Programme below for further details.
​
We are a friendly and welcoming group with over 80 members of all ages. Visitors are always very welcome at our meetings for £4 per visit and you are welcome to visit for 3 meetings before we ask if you’d like to join us. Many of our visitors join before the 3 meeting deadline!
As a member you will have access to our clubs - Book Club, Craft Club, Sewing Group, Board Games Club, Exercise Group, Walking Group, Gardening Group, Film Club and Coffee Mornings. There are also Outings and other occasional events organised on an ad hoc basis - photos are all in the Outings Tab
​
