Any W.I. members???

Yes it’s very sad to hear about Denman.

Our WI did fund raising a few years back for Denman and when we heard it was still struggling financially we wondered why they didn’t decamp from London to this beautiful place that had such potential eg Weddings.

The end of an era.

Yes, very sad to see Denman go. I did several courses there and it was a wonderful environment and a real home for WI members. Even if they hold courses elsewhere it won't be the same. It was rather a shock to discover what a knife edge the finances were running on but I suppose it won't be the only casualty of the virus. A great shame.

I was booked in for a course in April, naturally it was cancelled.
Very sad as, as you say, it’s such a lovely place. I have tried to go annually and have enjoyed it. My last visit in November - the accommodation (Holly) was dire, with the showers and heating not working.
But, yes, it is very sad that it has to close. I hope they do more online classes or use university accommodation in the holidays to take Denman to the masses.
