St Mary’s and Bishop Eton Women’s Group 

Since our founding, as a result of the Parish Awakening in November 2015, we have attracted over 100 members and have started our programme of activities. We have tried to ensure that we are accessible to ALL women in both parishes so meetings are held at both St Mary’s and Bishop Eton and are aimed at attracting youngsters and the not so young, people in work within and beyond the home and at all stages of life. Our meetings are in the daytime and the evenings, mid-week and weekends so there’s no reason to say some events are not accessible to all of us!

Our first act was to establish a committee and then identify the activities people wished to take part in. We now have a full programme up till the Summer. Activities arranged range from tea and coffee sessions, to trips to the theatre, guest speakers, an Aintree Race Night, to a guided walk around Woolton but we are open to any ideas which our members would like to suggest.

The inaugural meeting was attended by over 100 people and this was followed by another evening which attracted over 100 women. It was aimed at using up our  Chistmas Leftovers. A Getting to Know You afternoon social event with table quiz, raffle (of course), afternoon tea and plenty of conversation was attended by 40 people. Most recently a coach full of 30 members seeking retail therapy spent a day at Boundary Mill.

Our immediate future events are a mystery speaker on the evening of 8th March at St Mary’s at 7.30pm, a theatre visit to see ‘The Mousetrap’ on 21st April and a visit to an Aintree Race Night on 13th May. The daytime Woolton Walk to be led by Tom Murphy is on 6th July.

We are keen to attract new parishioners and those who for whatever reason have yet to meet other parishioners or who simply do not get out too often. We are WELCOMING. Anyone wishing to join the group or with any ideas for activities is invited to contact us by email -  - or phone Cath 722 3680, Geraldine 428 5897, Veronica 428 7454 or Fiona 722 455
