Welcome to the Shropshire Federation

A wonderful rural county with pleasant market towns, its own new town of Telford and,of course, the world heritage site of Ironbridge.

We have over 3,300 members in 132 WIs, ranging in size from seven to 90 members, which are divided into 23 Groups. We are fortunate enough to own our own house in the centre of historic Shrewsbury.

We have a well-equipped teaching kitchen where we hold classes and which WIs can use for their own meetings or classes.

Members are always welcome to pop in and make themselves a cup of tea or coffee and use our reading room to browse through our small reference library.

Our sub-committees organise events ranging from quizzes and darts to talks on drug abuse and alternative therapies and from rambles and farm visits within our own county to visits to Stratford's theatres or the London Eye.

We organise classes and competitions in crafts and the arts, and at the West Midlands Agricultural Show, which is held each year in Shrewsbury, we have classes - competitive - for WIs and for individual members.

Every other year we take Denman College for a weekend and fill it with Shropshire members for two days of education, fun and friendship - just what the WI is all about.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Rosemary Hamilton
