REPORTS FROM REPRESEINTATIVE ORGANISATIONS
202412025
STOKE POGES & WEXHAM WOMEN'S INSTITUTE
Our Membership this past year stands at around 50155, all of whom enjoyed our
prograrnme. The May event was 'Tea Prcrfluction to Tea Cup,. Then followed a June
outing to Basingstoke Milestones Living Museum - a whole village showing life in
the 1900s, all under one roof, including shops pub, school and seaside arcade with
slot machines. Such an interesting day out. Also in June the group was represented at
the National WI AGM held in the Albert Hall in London.
In July we were visited by a speaker from Beaconsfield Recycling Centre. He
explained what happens to the waste after we have disposed of it.
We had a peaceful sunny day in August in a horse drawn barge on the river Avon.
September started our Autumn programme with an insight into the life of Princess
Margaret.
The AGM was held in October in the Club Room, followed by a sit down lunch in the
main hall. A retired air hostess .who is now on our committee, told us of her working
life during the entire life of Concorde.
December was our Christmas party complete with a Secret Santa.
2025 started with a review and vote on the resolutions to be put to Government at the
2025 AGM.
In February our local phannacist enlightened us to the complex pharn]aceutical
procedures.
The March event was a talk on the history of Pinewood Film studios. April followed
with a Spring Lunch in the Main Hall.
Our Wl presence features strongly in our Village of Stoke Poges and is well
supported.
SUNSHINE CORNER PLAYGROUP
It has been a busy year with new children starting, some from new families and some
siblings of old families. It is always nice to welcome new families but just as nice to
welcome old families back. Settling7 new children in is always a very individual
process with some settling straight away and others needing more time and shorter
sessions to begin with, but they all settled and are enjoying their time at Sunshine. As
the Government continues to roll out free funding for this age group we are havins,
more enquiries about 2 year olds attending for 30 hours a week from next September.
This will mean a higher ratio of adults to children which we are having to plan for.
We continue to have a number of children with additional needs who also require a
higher ratio of adult 5UPPOrt. The local authority have stopped issuing support for
these children through Higher Needs Block Funding so it is down to each setting to
ty to find the funds thernselves to support them.

Thank you to everybody who has supported us in this Campaign, including everybody
who bought a copy and helped promote IL Please do so again this year, and if you
know anybody interested in photography, we need more members
STOKE POGES THURSDAY EVENING & FRIDAY MORNllYG
BADMINTON CLUB
The Thursday evening badminton completed a very enjoyable season at Easter. We
will start again in October. We are a group of mixed ages and ability and would
welcome new players to join us on Thursday evenings. The Friday ladies, badminton
is still going strongish and those who play enjoy it very much.
STOKE POGES PLAYERS
The players had a good season. Our pantomime, Puss in Boots, turned a fair profit
which was much needed after few years of losses. As a group we have decided to
spend the majority of 2025 fundraising and working at sorting out our costumes and
prop storage. Our first murder mystery fundraiser was held in mid March and was a
great su¢¢ess. We're looking forward to the season ahead
