Members attending came from the W.I., T.W.G., Young Wives and Service Wives Clubs. The main theme of the course was the life of women in the countryside today, and some very interesting and searching discussions were held on this. Practical work was carried out on a variety of subjects. Two courses were held for the W.R.A.C., for their Homecraft Promotion Proficiency Test, one for a fortnight in October, the other for a fortnight in February. A total of 17 attending. Following the course, all members took their Promotion Examination and all passed. Proficiency Test Courses were held for women members of the Young Farmers' Clubs in Pastry Making, Baking, Frozen Foods, Lampshade Making. 53 attended. Proficiency Test Courses for W.I. members were held in. Meal Cookery, Preservation. Lampshade Making and Soft Furnishings, and for W.I. Demonstrators in Cookery, Preservation and Gardening, 52 attending. .• Evening Classes were held in Home Made Wine at Pewsey, and a craft course for members of Devizes Townswomen's Guild had 14 attending. At Home Days: During the Spring Term, the policy of At Home Days on Fridays for women's organisations was continued, 567 women attending from W.I.'s, T.W.G.'s, Young Wives, Young Farmers, Service Wives Clubs and the Farmers' Wives Club. Special interest was shown in the Deep Freeze Days when the latest information gained by two members of staff attending the Long Ashton Deep Freeze Course was put to full use.
A visit was made to the R.H.E. Centre during the Rally of H.M.I.'s and County Organisers to Wiltshire. Great interest was shown in the full-time course and the extra mural work being done. Lectures and Demonstrations: 134 were carried out, both at Lackham and in the County. Judging: Three day schools were held for Judging for the W.I. Denman Cup, one at Lackham and two in the County. Judging was carried out on 23 occasions. Miss Dunn attended 16 Committee Meetings of the W.I. Produce Guild, Agriculture and Denman Cup Committees, Y.F.C. Rally and Girls Committees, and Inter Women's Organisation Competition Committee. The Inter Women's Organisation Competition was staged at the Y.F.C. Rally at Bowood with 50 entries. This Competition is now a feature of rural life in Wiltshire and is gaining a reputation in the area [i] RURAL HOME ECONOMICS ONE YEAR FULL-TIME COURSE From 1953 to 1959, women students were accepted for the National Certificate in Agriculture adapted course, and one day a week they came to the Rural Home Economics kitchen, Hill Street, Trowbridge, for instruction in Rural Home Economics. It was decided to close this course in July 1959, with the objective that the College would have its own centre and women's hostel and have a course in Agriculture with Home Economics. There were the usual ups and downs in the high politics of obtaining permission for this course and the finance for the buildings. Finally, the Scott Baker Hostel was built, followed by the Rural Home Economics centre. The National Certificate in Rural Home Economics Course commenced in September 1964 - the name of the course was changed to the National Certificate in Agriculture with Home Economics in September 1975. Below is the list of the number of women students attending these courses, making a total of 217 for the R.H.E. Course, plus approximately 36 for the adapted course. [i] R.H.E.
