West Tilbury Women's Institute meets every first Tuesday of the month in the village hall. The West Tilbury branch of the Women's Institute was established in 1921 - only six years after the first Institute was set up in the United Kingdom.
We are a friendly and informal group with many varied interests and we are always trying to find out more and develop skills we never knew we had!
In the last year we have learnt about spinning, making creative jewellery, tasted Indian cuisine, found out about what it is like to be a magistrate, history of art and how to line dance. We try to find something to interest all tastes.
Visits are also a highlight and we have been wine tasting, out for a delicious afternoon tea and visits to the theatre. Everyone is consulted and their wishes taken into consideration.
As well as our own yearly party each W.I in the Thames group of 9 institutes has a party to which 2 members are invited. This means that there are opportunities to meet other members in the area and every year there is a Spring Group Meeting when everyone gets together.
The Federation of Essex Women's Institutes also hold courses covering a varied range of activities which anyone can join.
Please look at our About Page to find out about our programme for this year.
