About Us

Welcome to Micheldene WI

We are a very friendly, diverse and welcoming group of women of all ages who meet up in the village hall at East Dean once a month. Our membership is drawn from the villages of East Dean and Friston as well as the surrounding areas. We have a varied and interesting programme of events including guest speakers, craft sessions, quiz and music evenings, Summer and Christmas parties and other fun activities. In addition, we take trips to theatres, exhibitions and wine tastings as well as running the tea tent at our annual village fete. We are always looking to try new things, welcoming suggestions from members. Please visit the “More About Us” page for a flavour of our recent events.

We also offer a range of small-group activities/clubs where members meet regularly, or on an ad hoc basis, to pursue mutual interests. Currently we have a walking group, two craft groups, several book clubs, lunch club, gardeners’ group and evening dining club. Please visit the “Our Clubs” page for more news of some of our recent activities.

Through our fund-raising endeavours we support charities in our local area as well as donating practical items, either to a local charity for the homeless, or a Women’s Refuge, as part of our annual Christmas charity appeal.
