Who can come?
While we don’t need to raise money for hall hire while we are meeting on Zoom, we still do need to pay our speakers and demonstrators. For this reason, we ask that you consider joining The Hive WI if you come to more than three of our meetings or attend our subgroups regularly. Thank you!
