WI gets crafty...
Our second meeting was held on 17th September and thanks to Lucia and Sarah from Craft Candy we enjoyed a brilliant birdie-brooch making workshop.
There was lots of serious sewing going on and the ladies rustled up some pretty fantastic brooches. I, on the other hand, just repeatedly stabbed my fingers with the needle and got frustrated at my rubbish sewing skills. I finished my brooch later at home though so all is well!
Lucky raffle winners were Rachel, who won two tickets to see Abba the Show at the Arena courtesy of LiveNation, and Claire, who won a bottle of Seven Hills wine!
Thanks to everyone who came.
See you next month.

Another new venue
As we had such a brilliant response to our first meeting and were nearly bursting out of the room, we have a new venue as from October.
We will be meeting in the Hall of St Matthew's Rooms, Carver Street.
The next meeting is on Thursday, 15th October at 7.30pm. This is the sign up meet, it's £29.50 for the year, or if you're not sure you can just pay £3 as a guest.
We'll be having a speaker at this meeting, it's related to fashion but I can't say anymore until it's confirmed!
See you there! x

Relocation, Relocation, Relocation.
Due to circumstances WAY beyond our control, we are having to change the venue for Seven Hills WI meetings.
We found out last weekend that the Red Deer is closing down, although they never actually told us, we had to find out from someone else. Nice.
Anyway, the hunt is on for somewhere new. Any suggestions, let us know!!
Over and out.

Our very first ever meeting...
Will be on Thursday, 20th August at 7.30pm at the Red Deer pub, Pitt Street, Sheffield S1 4DD (it's just off West Street).
It's completely free, so come and see what we're all about.
If you like the look of it (and us), you can join up at this meeting. It costs just £29 to join for a whhhoooollle year, which is very cheap considering the amazing things we've got planned for you.
Or, if after the first meeting you're not sure, you can come along to September's meeting (where we will be holding a craft workshop) for just £3 to get a bit more of a feel for what we'll be doing (and then fall so in love with the WI that you just have to become a member...)
We have a Facebook group here:http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=226558630594&ref=mf if you want to have a nosy. Or if you've got a question (preferably WI related!) email sevenhillswi@live.co.uk.

The Seven Hills of Sheffield...
Hello people. You are looking at the blog for Seven Hills Women's Institute - a wonderful new group for the females of Sheffield.
So, you might be wondering who we are, what we do and why you should be bothered, right? Well, I'll tell you.
Who?
Seven Hills WI is an exciting little project, brought to life by Sheffield twenty-somethings Lindsay Garfitt, Jennifer Marsden and Kim Whelan.
What?
A place for women to meet, learn new stuff, share ideas, show off their own talents, fundraise and have fun whilst drinking wine and eating cakes. (Not all at the same time - we're good, but not that good!)
We'll be planning a varied programme with stuff like craft workshops, interesting speakers, bellydancing workshops, picnics, clothes swapping parties and lots more.
It's run for women, by women, so if there is something you'd like to see on the programme, come along and suggest it. We're all really nice, not at all scary, except maybe first thing in a morning...
Why?
Because there are so many talented people in our city and so many women looking for an exciting new interest. Seven Hills WI blends the two perfectly, come and try it, you might just like it!
