WHAT DO WE GET UP TO? 

We have about 30 members and our monthly meetings are a great place to meet up with friends and neighbours for a catch-up and a cuppa.

The meetings feature speakers on a wide variety of topics, craft activities/demonstrations, or events like quizzes and Beetle Drives.

In addition, we also have regular social outings which range from visits to local gardens  to a simple get-together for a coffee, cake and a chat.

We also fund-raise through holding events like coffee mornings or participating in craft fairs. Please see below for details of our recent activities and our up-and-coming programme.

We are part of the North Lincs Federation which also organises lots of events. For example, coming up over the summer

·      a visit to Buckingham Palace to visit Queen Elizabeth – Her Life in Style exhibition in May,

·      Bransby Horse and Donkey Rescue Centre in June and

·      ‘Behind the Curtain' visits to our local Cremetoriums in July.

Please contact lincsnorthwi@gmail.com for a full list of their events.

So why not just pop in to see us at Rase WI? Casual visitors are always welcome! Why not join us for one of our meetings to get a taster of what we are all about. The first three monthly meetings are free!

LATEST NEWS FROM RASE WI

 

Monthly Meeting – 25/03/2026

 

In February at our Annual meeting two of our long-standing officers and a long-standing member of the committee decided to step down from their respective roles, and as part of the March meeting our President, Jenny Turner presented them with gifts, and thanked them for all their hard work. Rosie Dawson has served as Secretary for twelve years and Maureen Williams as Treasurer for 14 years. Both are remaining on the committee and will continue to provide support to our new Secretary Sue Boorman and new Treasurer Pam Ward. Marguarite Hopkins was also recognised for her longstanding support as a committee member.

 

This was our last get together of the Winter 2025/26 Programme and, due to the non- attendance of our speaker from Stax of Wax we instead had a fun afternoon of brain teasers, coffee and chat which everyone really enjoyed.
