November meeting

Our November meeting went off well.
Annette and John Christophers demonstrated Fun with Clay, in which all the members participated by making their own personalised piece of clay.  Annette then surprised everyone by putting all their pieces together to make one large bowl!  This is currently being fired, hopefully to be returned in time for our Christmas party!

September Meeting

After a last minute cancellation, the September meeting went ahead as a social/games evening.  Despite the lack of a speaker, everyone seemed to have great fun, especially doing those devilish dingbats and word puzzles!

And of course, tucked in to those lovely refreshments provided by the ladies.  Thank you to all who turned up and made the most of the evening!




Dodford Show

Congratulations to all on a great Show this year!
All went well, loads of entries, well attended by villagers, who took part in the auction afterwards, we will be letting you know soon how much was raised.
Enjoyed by everyone, thanks must go to the Committee of both WI and Gardening Club for putting on such a great day.
And, of course, many thanks also to all those who baked, grew, sewed, picked, etc, and entered so many great entries; all those who helped with refreshments and setting up / putting away on the day; Richard for auctioning the goods at the end of the day; and all those who came along to see what it was all about!

July update

July's meeting was on Friday 8th, where Janine Rusby gave a demonstration of Yoga.

We had a good turnout of 17 members, all of whom took part, and enjoyed it immensely.

Well done ladies!

Have a wonderful summer break, and look forward to seeing you at the Dodford Show with all your amazing entries once again!

June Update

On Friday 12 June we enjoyed our Fish & Chip supper at Jean's.  Luckily, we had placed chairs undercover as rain was predicted, and which started as the food arrived.  But we managed a cheery toast to Queen Elizabeth on her 90th Birthday.

On 8 July Janine Rusby will be encouraging us to relax and improve  our posture with Yoga.  Not compulsory to participate, but could be fun.  Wear comfy clothing.  Jean  and Pat  have kindly offered to provide refreshments.

There is no WI meeting in August, but on Friday 9 September Ruth Lowe will enjoy telling us about Mary Quant - her career and design concept through the 1960's.  Refreshments provided by Sue, Flossie and Madge.

Reminder that The Dodford Show will take place on Saturday 3 September 2016 in Dodford Village Hall.  Schedules now available from Penny.
