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.

November Meeting 2014

Anne posted on November 15, 2014 14:27

Our speaker for November was unable to attend so we improvised with an evening of ‘show and tell’. We had an enjoyable time recommending good books, theatre trips (including ballet, opera, musicals and plays) and enjoyable hotels and holidays. One of our members told us about her three week trip to Rio for the world cup. Another told of her 60^th year spent doing 60 amazing things which will reach its highlight in the summer with a parachute jump!

Our December meeting will be on Wednesday 10^th when we will be making Christmas wreaths, tree decorations and enjoying some Christmas refreshments.

We are a friendly group and welcome new members. Our programme for next year is just about to be printed, so if you would like to join us and would like some more information please contact Jane on 01793 731105.
