Latest news...

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.

Unfortunately due to unforseen circumstances our speaker, Terry Church, was unable to join us to give his talk on 'Radio and TV in the 1950's and 1960's.  So the evening turned into a social time with a quiz and delicious refreshments provided by Di Pardoe and Marlene James.  Hopefully we can book Terry again at a later date as it seemed an interesting talk.

Our next meeting was scheduled to take place on 10 April when Tracey Clark would have given us an insight into 'Living on a Narrow Boat'.  Unfortunately due to the current Coronavirus situation the village hall is closed, and therefore our WI meetings are cancelled until further notice. 

So, in the meantime, wishing you all well, stay safe and socially distanced.

Our next meeting is due to take place on 10 April when Tracey Clark should us an insight into 'Living on a Narrow Boat'.   An interesting topic in view of all the flooding which has been experienced recently.
BUT we do not currently know if this is going ahead.

Discussion took place regarding Dodford WI hosting the Bromsgrove and Hillside Group of WI's  'Group Meeting' on Tuesday 24 March 2020 in view of the current Coronavirus situation.  UPDATE 14/2/20: We have now received a directive from Chris Henderson that we should cancel the Group meeting, and that they are currently cancelling other meetings.
