Welcome to the Oxfordshire Federation

In Oxfordshire Federation we have 145 WIs, with membership numbers of between eight and 100 members, meeting in the evenings and afternoons.
We have WIs all over the county; from tiny communities deep in the Oxfordshire countryside to near to the centre of Oxford, the oldest university city in the country, as well as everywhere in between.Pauline Goddard, Federation Chairman 2008
A large number of women join the WI for friendship, and enjoy the walks, trips to the theatre, meetings with other WIs and visits to places both inside and outside the county. 

Our federation arranges many such events; talks; day schools; visits and activities, which appeal to as wide a cross section of members as possible. It is all part of the WI ethos, which is to offer opportunities for enjoyable learning for life.

As part of those learning opportunities, we are lucky to have the WI's own residential college, Denman College, within our county. Our members are able to take full advantage of residential courses and day workshops in Denman's beautiful surroundings.

If you want time away and a chance to learn, there is no better place than Denman.

If you are interested in joining us or finding out more please contact our federation office for more information.
