Caynham Ashford WI

Caynham Ashford WI is part of the National Federation of Women's Institutes, the largest voluntary organisation for women in the UK, with 210,000 members in England, Wales and the Islands.

Our flourishing institute was established in 1923 and in 2023 we had a big celebration to mark our centenary! We meet regularly in Caynham and Ashford Carbonell, on the outskirts of Ludlow. We have over 20 members and regular attendance of 90%. 

We are about learning, creating and caring for our members and the community, reacting to local, national and international issues which are important to us and, above all, being useful and enjoying life. Whilst respecting the traditions of the past, we are embracing the future using modern methods of communication and publicity which are now available to us.

We hold our monthly meetings on the second Wednesday of the month, starting at 7.30 p.m. except in August when there is an outing. Membership annual subscription is £51 and this includes 8 issues of WI Life magazine. You are welcome to visit us on one occasion, without charge, after which we hope you would like to join us.
