THE CHESTERFORDS, ICKLETON AND HINXTON
WOMEN'S INSTITUTE
Since the Women’s Institute was formed in the UK during the First
World War to help to revitalise rural communities and to encourage
women to become more involved in producing food, its aims have
broadened considerably. It is now the largest women’s organisation
in the UK – there are currently 205,000 members in 6,500 Women’s
Institutes.
There has been a Women’s Institute in
Chesterford for 50 years. It is
affiliated to the Cambridge Federation of Women’s Institutes which
has a wide programme of events that are available to local members
throughout the year. 11 years ago the villages of Chesterford, Hinxton and Ickleton combined to form the local WI as it is today.
The Chesterfords,
Hinxton and Ickleton WI members may not be Calendar Girls – but we
are a group of lively minded ladies of varying ages - and meetings
are not all jam and Jerusalem! We enjoy a varied programme of
speakers throughout the year and always finish each meeting with
excellent refreshments! New members and visitors are very
welcome. Make new friends and join us in the involvement of village
life!
Meetings are
held at the Chapel, Carmel Street, Great Chesterford on the 3rd Wednesday of the
month at 7.45 pm (unless otherwise indicated)
