Our WI Stall at Cale Green Park
1 -5pm
1 -5pm
As a means of raising funds for our WI members are encouraged to once again start getting crafty to build up a stock of items to sell.
These can be any ‘made’ items including jams if not perishable too soon. Unfortunately for the Park events we can make & sell jam but no piccalilli, mincemeat, marmalade or chutney as other stall sells these!

We may organise crafternoon events to make 'stuff' to sell & have a little bit of fun. Our last session was a great success at the Blossoms Pub, to whom we are forever greatful for their support of us.

EVENTS and OUTINGS 2016
Our
outings group is run by the uber organised and energetic Patricia McGivern. We
have been lucky enough to have trips to the theatre to see ‘Dirty Dusting’ and
to the cinema to see ‘Ab Fab’ and ‘Yarn’ at The Savoy. Pat has been busy
getting us all organised for our Christmas ‘do’ in December and she is hoping
to organise an afternoon tea trip in the new year to give us all something to
look forward to after the festivities! Thanks to Pat for doing a sterling job!
In
June CGWI hosted a stall at the Cale Green Park Summer event. We had asked you
to donate handmade goodies to sell and raise funds for our WI and WOW did you
provide! Our stall was heaving with stuff you’d lovingly made! You volunteered
to set up and organise the stall, run it on the day and pack away at the end!
Brilliant! We made £170.00 profit that day so THANK YOU all! It was a
marvellous day and we were lucky with the weather!!!!
In
July Phil Catling offered the women an opportunity to go on a tour of the air
raid shelters of Stockport-although it sounds like a claustrophobics worst
nightmare the women that went thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend
it!
Annette
Cobley kindly offered to organise a clothes swap back in July. She organised it
at Cale Green Park and laid on tea & cake for people popping in with their
unwanted garments to swap them for something different to spruce up tired
wardrobes! It was a lovely day and Annette is hoping to do it again in Spring
when everyone is starting to think about spring cleaning their tired attire!
In
August Cale Green WI participated in Manchester PRIDE alongside other fabulous
women from Women’s Institutes across Greater Manchester. This was the first
time WI’s had collectively marched at Manchester PRIDE and Cale Green WI wanted
to be part of this wonderful occasion to ensure anybody who identifies as a
woman is welcome at our WI. It was an AMAZING day and we cannot wait for next
year!
EVENTS and OUTINGS 2017
February concert: Song & Light Classics
Organised and co-ordinated by one of our members it was a fabulous event and it was packed!
Cale Green WI rallied together and helped with event preparations, as well as organising all the refreshments and provided the best raffle and vast amount of quality items i have ever seen at a local event.
We made lots and lots of cake, tea, coffee, juice and served (drank) wine to support such a worthwhile cause.
