Julia Deighton

Julia Deighton joined the WI in 2015 in order to meet people in the village where she had only lived for 18 years!  This decision proved to be a huge success.  Even working full time as a health and safety inspector it did not deter Julia from immersing herself in WI life - she is a member of two physical WIs (Swanland and Gilberdyke Gems) and one virtual WI (East Yorkshire Roses). She became President of her main WI in 2020 and President of her virtual WI in 2024. She is at her happiest when busy and is very rarely seen keeping still. Her main interests other than the WI include crafting, dancing, archaeological digs, outdoor activities and fundraising for a dog rescue.
