The Caister-on-Sea Women's Institute hold meetings on the second Monday of every month and meetings always start at 7.30 pm although our meeting venue is open from 7.00 pm.

We meet in the Youth and Community Centre in the middle of our village and always kick-off the meeting with the hymn Jerusalem except in December when we usually have a Christmas carol to start the evening off. In June of every year we commemorate the founding of our branch and hold a small birthday party to celebrate.

During our meetings members have the opportunity to buy bric a brac and books from a sales stall, purchase raffle tickets and contribute to an ongoing competition which runs throughout the year culminating in the presentation of a piece of ceramic for runners up and a Shield for the winner. The evening is usually a lively one and frequently finishes with humorous poems or a small quiz.

Every meeting we have a guest speaker with diverse subjects ranging from "bee keeping" to "a walk through our local graveyards" and we try to make our programme as interesting and varied as possible for our members and as you can see from the program below this year is no exception.
