We are a lively, interested and interesting group of ladies who meet at Wilmslow Methodist Church on the third Monday evening of each month.
Our monthly meetings each feature an interesting speaker or speakers about subjects we are passionate about, want to learn more about or are just great fun . In addition to our Monthly Meetings, we host a wide range of other events ranging from walks, our Book Club, meals out, art appreciation and crafts to name just a few. Members are invited to participate in any of the events.

There is a chronic shortage of NHS Dentists and people are suffering health issues as a result. The NFWI calls on the Government to increase investment in the training and retention of dentists and to review the current inadequate NHS contracts in order to ensure everyone can access an NHS dentist wherever they live.

MAY MEETING
The next monthly meeting will take place on Monday 20th May when we look forward to welcoming Nicky Patterson, a Female Air Traffic Controller. Nicky picked up the travelling bug from a young age from her Dad who worked for BA. She has worked at Manchester Airport since 2008, where she says, there are so many different roles that all play a vital part in getting aircraft to and from their destinations which she finds fascinating. Working in the Control Tower, she feels part of a much bigger team. Further information is on the Monthly Meetings page. Click Here to read the records of the previous Monthly Meetings.
