Committee
Our Committee Members

Cheryl Moreton - President  

I moved to the area in 2020 and joined Milford on Sea WI in September 2021 after the Covid lockdown. 

Having been a Committee Member of a Hertfordshire WI for 10 years, I knew that when moving to a new area, joining the local WI is the perfect way to make friends, enjoy great activities and days out. I have not been disappointed!! 

I am thrilled to be appointed President as of May 2023 and look forward to contributing to the future of our fabulous WI. 

Diana Cobbett - Vice President & MCS
David and I have lived in Milford on Sea since 2015, having known the area for the previous 30 years as my parents lived in Everton. 

I joined the WI to make new friends, learn new skills and have fun and have had the honour and enjoyment of being President from May 1999 to 2023. 

Linda Byrne - Secretary

In September 2020 I moved to Milford, as I wanted to live in a village by the sea. 

I joined Milford WI in September 2021 and have made many friends, enjoyed outings and belong to various groups.

I also enjoy reading, walking my dog and spending time in my garden. 

Margaret Snelgar - Minutes Secretary

I moved to Milford on Sea in 2016, but have lived in the local area most of my life. 


Once retired, I made the decision to join the WI in order to meet people and integrate into the local community. 


I have been a member now for several years. It is great fun and I've made many new friends through it.


Sue Evans - Treasurer
I moved to Milford on Sea in 2013 to be near my family who live in Lymington. 

I have been a member of the WI for five years and enjoy the talks and socialising at our monthly meetings, as well as many other events that take place throughout the year.  
In 2021, I was delighted to be given the opportunity to take on the Treasurer’s role. It is really good to be part of a team again and brings back fond memories of my working life in hospital administration.

Tracy Haupt - Website 


I moved to Milford on Sea in August 2016 and keen to get involved with the local community, joined the WI along with other organisations.

It's such a great way of meeting people and there are so many interesting speakers throughout the year and plenty of group activities offered too (I currently run the Table Tennis Group, which is great fun for all levels).

Vivien Shute - Welcomer 

I moved to Milford on Sea in 2006 when my husband retired from the oil industry after over 20 years in USA, Italy and Aberdeen. Our family have lived in Milford since 1962.

I volunteered in the village charity shop for years, which I loved and I am a quilter and a golfer.

I joined the WI about eight years ago and have loved meeting new people and especially enjoy the activity groups, sharing hobbies with friends.

Joanne Hope - Refreshments Co-ordinator


I moved to Milford on Sea in 2016 but had been visiting the area for over 20 years, as my Mum was already living here. She had been a Committee Member and had always encouraged me to join the WI in order to meet new friends. 

So I'm following in my Mum's footsteps and looking forward to getting more involved in this lovely village. 

Anne Haigh - Speaker Secretary

We moved to Milford from the Midlands nearly five years ago and love every minute living here. 

I joined the WI two years ago. It's been a great way to meet new people and make friends, especially by joining the groups.

I've been on some lovely walks, read interesting books, learnt useful crafts and enjoyed the varied topics in the Food and Produce Group.

Carolyn Harbridge - Salterns Group Rep & Welcomer

I moved back to Milford on Sea from Dorset three years ago, having previously both lived and worked in the village.

I joined the WI and have made many new friends. It’s been a wonderful way to meet new people, hear interesting speakers and explore new interests. 
I'm thoroughly enjoying table tennis, discussions with the Book Group and gaining new ideas through the Food and Produce Group.

Helen Howells - New Forest Show Rep & Welcomer

I joined the WI soon after moving to Milford on Sea from Hertfordshire in 2019. It was the best decision ever, as it's been a brilliant way of making new friends and helped me settle into our lovely village. 

There is always so much going on, in addition to the monthly meetings. I enjoy the Walking and Food and Produce Groups and have a go at new crafts too!
