HAVE FUN FOR FREE ON THE NEW WI LEARNING HUB
All full WI members can access the many varied sessions offered free on the new WI
Learning Hub. Non-members can join the sessions but will pay from £5 upwards per
session.
HOW TO HAVE FUN FOR FREE
- You must be a full member of the WI.
Ensure that your email contact details are correct on the MCS. This is essential. If you are
not sure, ask your MCS representative or contact the office. - Log on to MyWI. This has improved greatly and is now quite simple. Any difficulty, ask for
help from the Federation Digital Champion, Alison, on 01544 340256 or 07896 888629 or
email rhyselanerose@gmail.com. Alison will help with all your digital problems. - On the first page of MyWI, in the top left is the link ‘Welcome to the WI Learning Hub’. Click
on this which will take you to the Hub. Read the first page and where it says ‘Read More’,
click on this. - You now have a choice of events – Live Courses or Access Anytime. Try Live Courses first.
Click on the picture and that will bring up six options. Try ‘View All Courses’, have a look at
the many options and chose one. Full details of the course will be shown. Click on ‘Book
Now’. Select that one person is joining. Even if two or more are going to watch, the one is
for a single device. - Scroll down and follow the simple instructions. Do not be put off by the fact that there is a
sum due figure on the right side of the page. When you reach the last page that figure will
disappear because you have come through MyWI which shows that you are a full member.
The joining details will now appear in your inbox. At the end of the joining details there will
be instructions, if applicable, for the course which you can print off. - There is such a wide choice of courses, talks and demonstrations that they cannot be listed
here. Should you experience any difficulties, contact Alison or Caroline Miller at WI House - on Thursdays or Fridays or email admin@herefordshirewi.org.uk.
- FACEBOOK: If you would like to put something about your WI on Facebook. please either send it by email to Alison Lord (address below), admin@herefordshirewi.org.uk (Caroline Miller) or christy_r_crouch@yahoo.co.uk (Christy Crouch) as we are all admins of the Federation Facebook page.
- There is also a blue button saying message; you can also copy and paste your report on a message and attach any photos and this will be picked up and put on the page direct.

MSC REPRESENTATIVES - DID YOU KNOW…?
- Could all MCS representatives please check through their list of members to ensure that they are accurate and all email addresses are included as they will only ever be used for WI communication.
- It’s even more important now that your members’ details are up to date as the Federation newsletter is being delivered to members’ email addresses.
- If you change your meeting time, day, venue or anything else update this on the MCS as this is the only way that the website page ‘Find a WI’ will be updated.
Please get in touch if you need any assistance.
