Boxlea WI Activities
Boxlea WI meets regularly on the first Thursday of each month in the Pavilion, Valens Terrace, in Box, near to the Selwyn Hall & Library. Meetings commence 7.30pm.
Guests are always welcome, so do come along and have a 'taster' - you will be warmly welcomed.
Disabled car parking slots are available and there is level access to the Pavilion.
In addition to the monthly meetings, there are a number of other activity groups that meet throughout the month. Further details are given in the relevant pages for each group. As many of these activities are hosted by members in their own homes, venue details are witheld for security reasons but can be obtained by contacting the Boxlea WI Secretary (see Committee page).

Craft and Chatter Group
'Craft and Chatter' is a fun group that meets to share their interest in an assortment of crafts, including knitting, over a friendly chat & cuppa. All craft varieties are welcome as long as you can take your latest project with you! The meetings are held from 7.30 pm and are hosted by Jill Banks.

Book Club
The Book Club meets regularly to discuss the chosen book and its challenges. Different people enjoy reading different styles of book and it is always interesting to find out how everyone responded to the recommended book! Details of the current book can be found on the events page with the date of the next meeting. Jill Banks hosts the group from 7.30 pm at her home.

Walking Activities
Boxlea WI members meet regularly to take part in local walks. Some walks are more challenging than others, but all generally culminate in a social lunch or tea somewhere local. We share transport where we can and when this is appropriate to get to the location for the walk. Walk leaders are happy to advise you on the nature of the walk (level, hilly etc) so that you know what you are letting yourself in for! Details of the next planned walk can be found on the events page.
Wiltshire Council have also set up 10 free community walking groups and those local to Box include the Melksham, Corsham and Chippenham groups. All walk groups meet weekly at 9.30 am and are led by trained walk leaders.
Further information can be obtained from Tracey Morris on 01380 734890 ar by email at tracey.morris@wiltshire.gov.uk

Theatre Trips
We are lucky enough to be able to organise trips to local theatres, including the Theatre Royal in Bath. There is a varied programme available and this offers a very sociable way to attend popular theatre performances.
Details of the latest selected performance can be found on the events page.

Skittles
We take part in the local skittles tournaments arranged by Wiltshire Federation. You don't have to be an expert to take part, all are welcome to join the team!
Details of the 2012 Skittles Tournament will be published when they become available.

Whist
Wiltshire Federation organises an annual Whist Tournament. Boxlea WI aims to field a team whenever we can! Players of any standard are welcome to join the team as it is always important to field a full complement! Nevertheless, owing to the skills of our regular players, we came a creditable third in the Wiltshire 2011 Tournament - well played everyone! We have something to aim for in the 2012 Tournament now!
Details of the 2012 Whist Tournament will be published when they become available.
