Renhold WI
Renhold WI was formed in 1923 and is still thriving in the Village.
We meet at the Village Hall, Wilden Rd, Renhold MK41 0LY on the first Thursday of the month at 7:30 pm
New members & guests welcome - the current fee for guests being £5. You do not need to be a resident of Renhold Parish to join us.

We usually have a guest speaker, and there is always a cuppa, biscuits, a chat, and sometimes something home-baked!
We occasionally organise trips out, and are just forming a coffee club

Garden Tour at Howbury Hall
On the 19th June, the Renhold WI were given a lovely tour of the gardens at Howbury Hall with Martin the Gardener who told them lots of interesting information about the gardens. They were then treated to a yummy afternoon tea by Jeanette at Dower Cottage.
