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.

Big Gig

Anne posted on August 31, 2012 15:22

On Friday 31st August the WI were busy preparing their tea tent for the Big Gig.

 

 

 The Big Gig took place on Saturday 1st September at Broad Town. The WI cake stall had a fantastic selection of home made cakes to tempt one and all.

 

 There were beautifully iced cupcakes, which added colour to the red, white and blue theme.

 

Although it was a slightly chilly evening, there was lots of tea and coffee to warm those who needed a break from dancing the night away.

 

 It was a great day and a lot of fun.

The Broad Town WI would like to thank everyone who helped and contributed to the event. But most of all they would like to thank all the visitors to the stall who made the day such a success. For those of you who would like to join our WI the next meeting is on 19th September at Broad Town Village Hall. We hope to see you there. Although we cannot guarantee such a wide selection of cakes, there will be plenty of tea and conversation to wet your appetite.
