THE LOWDOWN ON... ........................................... The Brighton Belles A very modern WI Brighton Belles is part of the East Sussex Federation of the Women’s Institute, but we are slightly different to most groups. People have an image that we’ll have lilac hair and twinsets, linking arms as we sing Jerusalem. That’s so not us. We meet in a pub on a Monday evening with a gin & tonic in one hand. We have around 60 members with roughly 30 attending each meeting. We’re women from all walks of life. Some of our younger members are mums for the first time and others are grandmothers who are still working. Some of us are born-and-bred Brightonians, others have come to the city for university, or because of relationships. Quite a few of us have lived overseas and have come back. It’s a fabulous melting pot of women. We have lots of fun and we get great speakers. Boho Gelato came along and taught us to make alcoholic ice cream cocktails and, last month, local sculptor Hazel Reeves spoke to us about winning the commission to sculpt Emmeline Pankhurst and about meeting her descendants. We’ve had a talk from an explayboy bunny; by Lewes & Brighton Bee Keepers; spent an evening at the fire station and another at a life-drawing class. We’ve got Graham Bartlett, former city police commander for Brighton & Hove, coming to speak to us in the new year and we’re reading a Brighton crime novel in book club and going to the old police cells for our social. It’s a chance to learn new things with a group of friends. Some members just like to come along to the monthly meetings (on the second Monday of the month at Grand Central) and listen to the speakers, but most people slot into something else too. There’s Stitch & Bitch; a walking group (A Walk on the Mild Side); socials, and Dinner Ladies, where we go out to dinner every few months. I can’t knit or crochet to save my life, but I enjoy a good book. There’s something on most weeks with the WI. We still do lots of traditional WI things and we hold an AGM and do everything properly. We support charities working with women and children by running cake stalls, knitting ‘twiddle muffs’ for dementia sufferers, and raising funds for the domestic abuse charity, RISE. One of the resolutions that the WI made was to tackle loneliness. You can live in a big city and still be as lonely as anything. We make sure that new members feel welcome from the first meeting. It’s about £40 to join for the year and that includes all the meetings, socials, book club and all the events. It’s incredibly cheap but the real value is in the friendships that form. It’s a great bunch of people. As told to Lizzie Lower by committee member Claire Townsend. If you’re interested to find out more, guests can attend a taster meeting for £5. Check the Facebook page for details of meeting dates. ....95....
