Institutes
Any woman who would like to join an Institute, or attend a meeting as a visitor, will be most welcome.
You will be classed as a member when you have paid the subscription for the current year and completed a membership form. Each Institute sets its own annual subscription. You can join online at theswi.org.uk.
Meetings are monthly and most start at 7.30 pm, although some institutes now meet in an
afternoon at 2 pm. We are more than just jam and jumpers - meetings can be talks, craft or
cooking demonstrations, discussions, singing, quizzes and games, discussions about books
and TV, local history and culture, art and social issues.
We also take part in local and national sports competitions.
If you require any more information please contact The Federation Secretary. You can use our Contact Us form on this website or email secswidumfriesshirefederation@gmail.com
If you are unsure about which Institute is closest to you then you can click the Institute Finder button and this will take you to The SWI main website to help.
