In addition to our monthly meetings, we have a variety of smaller special interest groups. The contact details for these group leaders are in the Members area of this website. All Sanderstead WI Members are welcome to attend these groups.
Art ‘n’ Craft Group
The Art ‘n’ Craft Group meets monthly on the second Monday of the month in the Leader’s home, but times and days vary. We embrace art and craft in the widest sense- some doing painting, some knitting, sewing etc. We help each other and enjoy a good chat, tea and cake. We sometimes run a workshop on a theme.
Book Club
The Book Club meets at a public house in Warlingham for discussion of the designated book followed by lunch together and meets on the last Thursday of the month.
Canasta
The Canasta group meets monthly, usually on the third Monday of the month but dates vary. We play Canasta in tables of three or four depending on numbers. It is a friendly group but we try our best to outwit our opponent! We also enjoy our tea and cake.
Costa Coffee Club
The Costa Coffee Club meets every Monday morning.
Facebook Group for Members
The link for the Sanderstead WI Facebook Group is in the “Members Only” section of the website.
International Lunch Club
The International Lunch Club meets on the 3rd Thursday of the month and visits international local restaurants and occasionally in London, taking advantage when we can, of `Lunchtime Specials`. We started with a visit to a Greek restaurant and since then we have `been round the world`. Recommendations and suggestions of venues are always welcome.
Scrabble for fun at the Horseshoe
We are a small friendly group who usually meet at a public house in Warlingham on the last Wednesday of the month.
Outings
We have had various outings including a visit to Margate in 2022 and to the Weald & Downlands Museum in 2023.
Table Tennis
The Table Tennis group meets weekly on Wednesdays at a local church hall. We have some good competitive games and lots of fun and a bit of chat over a coffee or tea. For the past few years we have gone out for a Christmas lunch and at the end of term in July.
Sanderstead Strollers
Members meet for a stroll, locally or in London, followed by a bite to eat on the 2nd Thursday of each month. Members should remember to wear stout shoes and carry waterproofs.
The Walking Group
Members meet for a walk of about 6 miles or more, and those coming along should also plan a walk in the future for the group. A maximum of 12 can attend. Appropriate walking shoes and waterproofs to be worn.
