The first meeting of the Edinvillie branch of the SWRI was on 19^th December 1930 and one of the 20 founder members, Miss E Forsyth of Derrybeg, still attends regularly. The first President, Mrs McKenzie of the Manse in Aberlour, served for more than 27 years before retiring in June, 1958.

Initially, meetings were held in the village school but now take place in the Community Hall at 7.30 pm on the third Wednesday of every month except July and August. The "Scots Night" in March is the main fund raising occasion when proceeds are donated to a charity of the members’ choice.

When many WRI branches are struggling to survive, Edinvillie is still lively and well supported but new blood, young or not so young, is always welcome. Would-be members should contact the Secretary or attend one of the meetings.

After a break of nine years the club was re-established in 1984 by enthusiastic parents and teenagers who had performed in many shows and nativity plays at Edinvillie school.

They started with one-act plays in the hall but soon progressed to three-act productions on tour at up to six other venues in the surrounding district in March each year during which their fame became widespread. Over 16 years they have helped to raise thousands of pounds for charities by doing what they and others enjoy.

The Club is not active just now but anyone interested in rekindling it should contact the community web group.

The Community Hall was erected in 1957 and was extensively modified in 1998 to provide access and toilet facilities for the disabled.
Apart from hall council meetings the hall is used for meetings by the Agricultural Club and the Women’s Rural Institute (WRI). It is also home for the renowned Edinvillie Amateur Dramatic Club and is used by them for rehearsals and productions.
Pupils from the primary school across the road use it for physical education sessions when weather precludes use of the school playing field. Although the badminton club is not currently functioning the hall floor is marked with a court, equipment is available and new users would be welcome.
Dances are held regularly and it is the site for the annual Sale of Work which is the main source of funds for maintenance of the hall. Every year there is a Christmas party for children and senior citizens and usually there is a summer party and barbecue all organised by the hall council.
Amongst other uses the hall and its grounds have been the venue for car boot sales, weddings and funerals. It is available for hire for any legitimate function.
