Next Meeting:
January 15th
Ever wondered what it’s really like being a woman in wellies, wrangling sheep and shearing wool for a living?
In this lively and hands-on talk, I’ll share my journey froma young girl playing the harp to a full-blown shepherdess –mud, muscles, mishaps and all. I’ll chat about what it’s like carving out a space in the farming world as a woman, the history of the women out in the fields long before me, the future of agriculture, and why British wool (and the people behind it!) deserve a bit more love. You’ll also get to have a feel of different types of wool from various breeds I've sheared– so it’s not just a talk, it’s a bit of a show-and-tell too, bringing the countryside to life.
The WI hall is ideal for both children's and adults' parties and as a club venue. It is available for hire during the day and evening, seven days a week.
