CHAPTER XIV HOME ECONOMIC EXTRA MURAL SERVICES FOR THE WOMEN AND SOME OF THE MEN OF WILTSHIRE by Miss M J Dunn The service was designed specially for the rural organisation such as the Women's Institutes, Young Farmers' Clubs and Townswomen's Guilds. Over the years about thirty different types of organisation have had lectures and demonstrations; to name but a few: the Royal Women's British Legion, Horticultural Societies, the Association of Wiltshire Midwives. The work now falls into three main groups: (a) Residential Courses. A week's residential course for all women resident in Wiltshire is held annually in July or September. The number of students accepted vary from 24 to 30. Each year it is over-subscribed and a ballot has to take place for those attending. The programme varies between practical work and visits of educational and local interest. Some of the titles over the years have been: "Countrywomen and the World", "Self Sufficiency", "From Plot to Pot". The residential weekend courses are held from time to time for Young Farmers' Club girl members based on Proficiency Test work or work for the Young Farmers' Club County Show. (b) Activities at Lackham. Organisations may come and hold their monthly meeting at the Rural Home Economics Centre when a member of staff will give a demonstration. Practical days are held in a large variety of subjects, some for a special organisation such as "Yeast Cookery" for Beanacre W.I., but they may cover a wider range such as "Hard Cheese Making" or "Bacon Curing". These days will include practical work for all the members of the class. A/b Home Days. Over the years a tradition has grown up when members of the public (the number of men is increasing) come from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. for demonstration instruction in a particular subject such as Wessex Cookery, Home Maintenance, Beef and Beef Cookery. Courses are held on a one or two term basis with special emphasis for those members who wish to take their Women's Institute or Young Farmer's Club, Home Economics Basic Certificates. These are being undertaken in a wide range of subjects, the latest being "Convenience Foods" which covers a large range of the foods available to the housewife in 1977.
