Cornhill Women's Institute





The Cornhill Women's Institute started in 1921
For information on the National

Federation of Women's Institutes (NFWI), click here.

The ideals of the Women's Institute of truth, justice, tolerance and fellowship are as strong

and
important now in the 21st century as they were at the birth of the WI in 1915. The WI is the largest voluntary women's organisation in the UK. It

exists to educate women to enable them to provide an effective role in the community, to expand their horizons and to develop and pass on important

skills.

Local information:
Meetings are on the first Thursday of each month (except August) in the Cornhill on Tweed Village Hall at 7p.m. We have

very friendly meetings. For more information contact Edna Jeffrey 01890 882627.
