This picture shows the Story Sack which was prepared by a group of members. It won first prize at the Country Fair at the Chiltern Open Air Museum in summer 2002. The judges described it as "stunning". The sack contains an original children's story, with objects appearing in the story, that begin with all the letters of the alphabet. There are also games to play based on the story, plus masks of the main characters. The Story Sack has now been given to Juniper Hill School. |

The Women's Institute as an organisation is an Educational Charity. It is non-party political, non-sectarian and non-racial. It welcomes women of all ages who are interested in furthering their own knowledge and promoting the advancement of an improved quality of life within the home, in the local community and at national level. Since its formation in 1957, the Flackwell Heath Evening Women's Institute has played an important role in village life, being consulted on such topics as siting of bus stops, introduction of street lighting and fund raising for the Community Centre. Its members have found new skills and developed new interests through speakers and demonstrations at local meetings plus events at county and national level. The FHEWI has its own craft group and Scrabble sessions.
An added pleasure for many members is the opportunity to
attend courses at Denman College, the WI's own residential
college at Marsham, Oxfordshire. While following these aims,
the greatest benefit for many members has been the fun enjoyed
and friendships gained. |
