Levington WI ‘twins’ with Dunrobin & District WI, Ontario, Canada. We had always liked the idea of twinning with another WI. We had a unique opportunity to twin with Dunrobin since one of our members regular stays near there and thus becomes our personal contact between the two WIs. Dunrobin WI were thrilled to be asked to ‘twin’. We enjoy our new friendships, knowledge of other cultures, sharing/exchanging ideas, programmes, information about our WI; what projects we might be working on and in general keeping a link open and keeping in touch. We also exchange gifts from time to time. It has been invaluable learning on how a Canada WI operates. How they start their meetings (of course Jerusalem would not be sung) but they say The Canadiaan WI Ode, then sing The Mary Stewart Collect and then they all say The Grace ’We thank Thee, Father for Thy care, Food, friends and kindliness we share, May we forever mindful be, Of Home and Country and of Thee.

Founded in 1960, Levington WI has around 34 members. Meetings are normally held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at Levington Village Hall, Bridge Road, starting at 7.30pm. Visitors and new members are always welcome.
