All About Us
Weobley Women's Institute was first formed in 1919 and, after a break of a few years, was reformed in 2016. We keep business and formality to an absolute minimum. We are a group of local women of all ages, backgrounds and interests but are united in our enjoyment of sociable, informative and entertaining gatherings. Visitors are always welcome!
What Happens at Meetings?
Each of the monthly meetings will offer something different. Whether a talk, craft activity, demonstration or a social evening we always find plenty to talk and laugh about and end our meetings with refreshments which are often home-made. Topics for our meetings have included talks about Forensic Science (CSI Weobley), Refugee Resettlement, Travels in Uganda and Owl Rescue, whilst we have had taster sessions in crafts such as felting, batik and making bags from fabric scraps. We have also had a go at morris dancing, seen demonstrations of cooking and had lessons in making chilli-based chutneys. We also enjoy any excuse for a drink and some food so our social evenings and Christmas meetings are a great night out. You can see some photos of our previous activities in the Gallery tab.
To get more of an idea of what we get up to at meetings, check out the Programme tab on this website. There you will see the current year's programme as well as what we got up to in previous years.
