Nacton is a vibrant WI with a wide age range which extends a warm and friendly welcome at its meetings to current and prospective members. Following our successful and enjoyable centenary in 2023 we have another exciting programme planned for 2024/5 with a wide variety of speakers and entertainment at our monthly meetings, our usual sub-group activities of knitting, book club, mahjong and walking, our traditional summer garden party and outings. We pride ourselves on our refreshments at meetings and at our village lunch. We are starting a lunch club in June as we also enjoy a meal out together as seen after our visit to Beth Chatto Gardens.
