March meeting

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.   

First of all, very sadly we have to tell you of the passing of one of our long-term members, Madge Albutt.  She will be greatly missed by friends at WI.  She was always a ready and willing helper at Jumble Sales, etc.  Her funeral will take place on Thursday 21 February at Dodford Church.

At our meeting on Friday 8 February we enjoyed a very interesting and informative talk on Worcester Porcelain - A Collector's Tale by Colin Millett, ably assisted by his wife, Frances.  Delicious refreshments were provided by June Parker and Carolyn Evans.  Jackie Meech was due to help, but had an unfortunate incident with a supermarket trolley and now has a broken leg.  We wish her a speedy recovery.

Sadly only nine ladies enjoyed this talk, and we would appreciate more support at our future meetings.  We could also do with more members, so please feel free to badger possible candidates.

At our March meeting David Wornham will entertain us with 'Tuneful Tunes'.  David has visited our WI before.   Refreshments with be provided by Jackie Parker and Di Pardoe.
