An evening at Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb and the Water Mill Clifton-upon-Teme WOMEN'S INSTITUTE, is a vibrant group of women who meet on the second Tuesday of the month to enjoy a variety of speakers from in and around the area. Meeting in the comfort of the Village Hall, they enjoy a lively informative talk, then social time over a cup of coffee, with extra time to chat to the speaker. Talks can be as varied as local charities, travel slide shows, health issues and current affairs. Many women join the W.I. for friendship and to enjoy the talks and enjoy visits in and around our county. There are also opportunities to attend events arranged for us by The Worcester Federation of the W.I.; these include craft workshops, quizzes, singing for pleasure and many others. The W.I. was initially set up to educate women in isolated communities. The main aim is still the same, the education of women, be it in the home, in the workplace or enjoying retirement. It is a great way of meeting and making friends from all walks of life. Each meeting has a theme, and there are often competitions or displays of artefacts or collector’s items.
