Group photo of Eydon WI in the garden of Oriel house, home of Sue Yates. Photo taken in or after 1987 by Chris Yates.
What is striking about this group is the number of younger members, in their 20s and early 30s, unlike the traditional stereotype of the WI. This may have influenced the group's activities, such as entering WI skittles and darts tournaments also more vigorous sports like horse riding.
More information about Eydon WI's history have been published in our research booklets, details elsewhere on our web site.
