About Broad Town Women's Institute

The Broad Town WI are a friendly group of women. We meet in the village hall on the 3rd Wednesday of each month, apart from December when we meet on the 2nd Wednesday. We start with our speaker so please arrive promptly at 7.30pm for a talk or activity which may be educational, inspiring, amusing and energetic. After the talk we have time for socialising and refreshments. This is followed by a short business meeting. We also arrange visits to gardens, pubs, local attractions, and go on summer walks. With a membership of 27 and growing we are keen to welcome new members. We have had a stall at the Broad Town summer Big Gig for the past few years supplying the festival goers with hot drinks and delicious homemade cakes.

We are affiliated to the Wiltshire federation of WI which in turn is part of the national WI allowing us to make a difference to campaigns such as reducing supermarket packaging, influencing the price of milk at the farm gate and accurate labeling food with the country of origin. Current campaigns are helping to alleviate loneliness, improving hospital arrangements for carers of people with dementia, helping to reduce plastic waste and trying to end food poverty.

There is also a dedicated college of further education; Denman college in Oxfordshire, offering the widest range of courses allowing WI members to learn new skills or further existing ones.

If you would like to meet some new friends in the village, have an opportunity to learn something new and maybe influence a national campaign why not come along one evening soon? Visitors are always welcome and you can try us out without any obligation.

Christmas 2011

After discovering we had forgotten to book the Village Hall for our December meeting all was not lost, as the WI Christmas get-together relocated to the President's lounge.

Chairs and tables were rustled up. Once decorated with crisp white table cloths and Christmas paraphernalia, the party was soon on its way.

Brandy cocktails got everyone in the mood. There was Christmas music, soft candles, twinkly Christmas tree lights and more wine(!). Tasty food was supplied by outside caterers which ensured a wonderful start to the festive season. It all worked out beautifully and was so successful that it is quite possible our next Christmas event will be in a similar informal setting.
