Bobbins Coffee Club – The Friday Coffee Club is held in the morning, on the 3rd Friday of the month, at a venue that is normally fairly local to Steeton.
The Saturday coffee club is held on the last Saturday of the month and usually involves brunch. This group often travels slightly further afield and car share is available.

Games Club – board games group. This runs approximately every other month, normally on a Wednesday night. The venue is in Steeton and the evening starts at 7.00pm and can go on until 9.30pm to give everyone plenty of time to finish the games they are playing. More information will be in the GC WhatsApp group.
Movie Club – We enjoy trips to the cinema and like to support our local venue, The Picture House in Keighley, if a film is showing there. They show a wide variety of films, both in the daytime and evening, so there’s normally something for everyone to enjoy. However, we also go to Skipton Plaza and the Ilkley Cinema. All details are put in the MC WhatsApp group.
Social Butterfly Bobbins – social group. We arrange outings to various events and activities (theatre, cultural and special activities). In 2025 our outings included going to watch a Burlesque night in Leeds, archery and axe throwing in Cross Hills, watching tribute bands in Ilkley and Colne and having a private tour of The Leeds Library (which is the oldest subscription library of its type in the UK).
All suggestions for the above groups come from our members.
West Yorkshire Federation of WIs – our members attended several events during the last year that were put on by the West Yorkshire Federation. A group of us attended the AGM at The Queens Hotel in Leeds and a 1940s themed afternoon tea held at Bingley Golf Club. Members also attended the Christmas Lunch. The AGM and Christmas lunch included a range of speakers who members found very interesting. We receive a monthly email from the WYFWI which details all the events available to us, both in person and via zoom.
