What does the Committee do?
We work as a team to keep Bidford WI thriving, but we could always use some help. Many hands make light work, and we are always keen to co-opt interested members to bring a fresh perspective.
How much of my time would it take?
The committee meets once a month, usually at the Fire Station meeting room and meetings usually start at 6.30pm.
Most committee members volunteer to take responsibility for a particular job, eg providing the refreshments and organising the kitchen rota, or putting together the raffle and other fundraising efforts.
Sounds interesting, what next?
If you might like to join the committee, please ask any of us about it. We'll be happy to tell you what we do and invite you to a meeting.
