Currently we have 46 fully paid up members although we have many more women on our mailing list (about 200) who like to be kept informed of Fulham WI activities. 
Monthly Meetings
We meet on the first Monday of every month at The Peterborough (except on Bank Holidays when we sometimes meet on the second Monday). At the meetings (7:30pm to circa 9pm) we welcome speakers on one or two topics that have been suggested by members at previous meetings. We sometimes welcome local traders if they have exceptional products that the committee think may be of interest to the FWI members but never are members expected to buy unless they choose to. Refreshments are not provided although there is a bar downstairs where members tend to grab a drink on the way up. Regrettably we cannot accomodate children at the meetings and there are no creche facilities
Committee Meetings
Once a month the Committee (voted in annually at our AGM in October) meet at one of the committee members homes, for a catch up and to plan for other meetings. If you would like to get more invloved and take on a WI responsibility then please email Lucyand let her know and she will let you know which areas need help or how you could stand for a committee position at the next Fulham WI AGM.
Breakout Groups
Sometimes we have breakout groups when there are members who would like to meet more than once month to do something specific. In the past we have had great fun learning to do the Charleston and to make Jam and even Fascinators (a type of hat!) Ideas for Breakout groups are always encouraged. Email ideas to Lucy or Joanna.
Special Events
Once a year we organise a Christmas ball to fundraise for a local charity and there is seperate committee who deal with it as it is quite a feat! We also arrange other special events such as the annual day trip to the Cartier Polo and many more.
Denman College is the WI's own Residential Adult Education College near Oxford, and was named after the first NFWI Chairman, Lady Denman. It is a graceful Georgian house, set in 17 acres of beautiful grounds. Most of the money needed to buy, develop and maintain the College over the years has been raised by the WI. Our rich variety of courses last for 2, 3 or 4 days.
Who can attend?Denman College is open to everyone, not only WI members. Students of all ages are welcome at the College, however in line with the College's Policy children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian at all times.
Use this site to browse our course programme and to book your chosen course online. The information section contains details of the history of the College, how to find us, our terms and conditions, etc.
Resident students: your fee includes your tuition costs, all your food and accommodation. Non-resident students: your fee includes your tuition costs and all meals. Some courses carry an extra charge for equipment etc., details are circulated with the course agendas six weeks before courses begins.
If you drive, parking is available on site. If you travel by train or coach Denman will arrange a taxi to collect students from either Oxford or Didcot Parkway train stations or Oxford's 'Gloucester Green' Coach station and bring you to the College.
Most of the bedrooms are either single, single en suite, and we have some twins and triples for those who wish to share. All bedrooms are centrally heated and have tea/coffee-making facilities. Two twin bedded rooms have been especially adapted for those with physical disabilities and their carers. Most bedrooms are lovingly maintained by the various County and Island Federations, which gives a unique feel to each room. The elegant public rooms give everyone the welcome chance to relax and make friends. Up to 72 students can stay at Denman at any one time.
