A TRADITIONAL celebration to mark the centenary of the Women’s Institute was held by Wilsden WI exactly 100 years since the organisation’s formation.

A total of 48 members enjoyed a grand party in Cullingworth Conservative Club where president Judy Caunt and West Yorkshire Federation chairman Helena Harrington cut the cake, which also marked the group’s 52nd anniversary.

“A lot of new institutes are popping up all over and Helena left us to go to one just starting out in Burley-in-Wharfedale,” Mrs Caunt said.
