Little Weighton -Yorkshire Country Women's Association

The Yorkshire Countrywomen’s Association was formed in 1983 to further the interests of Countrywomen throughout the whole of the original (pre 1974) geographical county of Yorkshire.

It is rural in principle and its aims are to further the skills, knowledge and social activities of its members and to preserve the heritage of Yorkshire. It is run by members for members, is non-sectarian and non-party-political.

The Association is administered by a Central Committee, meeting monthly at County headquarters, and comprising twelve elected members – four from each of the Yorkshire Ridings – plus three co-opted members – one from each of the Ridings.

The Yorkshire Ridings – North, East and West, each have their own administrative committee upon which serve the Central Committee members from that Riding plus an agreed number of invited members. Each Riding Committee organizes activities for its own members, and the Central Committee administers the whole Association and organizes county-wide activities, events, competitions etc.
