Women’s Club – about the club

Women’s Club programme · committee · activities The Women’s Club was founded in 1970 as Helmdon Young Wives and Mothers’ club by Elizabeth Humphrey, who was its first chairman, with Mrs Jock Humphrey as President and Maud Peart as Vice-President. It changed its name in 1992 as the original name no longer reflected the age group of the majority of its members.

Its programme includes speakers and demonstrations as well as social evenings such as the annual Silly Sports and Pot Luck Suppers. It meets in the Reading Room on the third Wednesday of every month except August.

Over the years it has held money-raising events for charity, including the Gulf War Red Cross Appeal, and each year organises a Christmas party for retired people.
