May Meeting - AGM

Meetings of the Dodford WI are held on the second Friday of each month (except August) at 7.30pm in the Dodford Village Hall, and visitors will always be made welcome, and for potential members the first visit is free.

On Friday 12 May we held our Annual Meeting and voted on this year's two Resolutions: A) Alleviating Loneliness, and B) Plastic Soup: Keep microplastic fibres out of our oceans.   Margaret Bazley, WIA, ably guided us through the proceedings.  Interesting debates followed, with the resultant voting:    A)  For: 0, Against: 8, Abstain: 4 - No Discretion and  B)  For: 10, Against: 0 - No Discretion.  In the case of A) it was felt that this would be unworkable.  Alleviating loneliness is a national problem, but needs resolving locally.

The secret ballot then took place on the future President, with Pat Squires agreeing to be our President.  So we can look forward to the continuation of Dodford WI.  But we do need more members, so please come and join one of our meetings and give us a whirl...     Delicious refreshments were provided by Raili Caldicott and Sue Wheeler.
