On Friday 14 April, Diane Brothwell came along and encouraged us to make a lion from a cream egg and marzipan.  Lots  of fun. Delicious refreshments were provided by Jean Sleigh and Penny Lydon.

April 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 be made welcome and for potential members the first visit is free.

March's meeting was most interesting when Pat Tansell told us how life was for the Nailers of Bromsgrove.  Delicious refreshments were provided by Jackie Parker and Di Pardoe.

On Friday 14 April Diane Bothwell will be encouraging us to make, 'marzipan Lion on eggs'.  This sounds very intriguing, especially as it's Good Friday, so do come along and support us.

Refreshments will be provided by Jean Sleigh and Penny Lydon.

March meeting

February's meeting was energetic and fun when Petra from Perpetual Wellbeing encouraged us to participate in flexibility and movement.  Delicious refreshments were provided by Sue Swift, Flossie Lammas and Madge Albutt.

Our next meeting will be held in Friday 10 March, when Pat Tansell will be entertaining us with her talk about 'The Nailers'.

Refreshments will be provided by Jackie Parker and Di Pardoe.

February meeting

Our next meeting was on Friday 10 February, when Petra from Perpetual Wellbeing (located at Dodford Crossroads) joined us to give a demonstration of Flexibility and Movement.  She will provided a handout to give us ideas to do simple exercises at home.


It was a good turnout and all who attended thought it was well worth the effort!

January meeting - CANCELLED

Last minute update - due to bad weather expected later, and low turnout anticipated, we have decided to cancel tonight's meeting.  Sorry.
See you in February!



Firstly, a Happy New Year to all!

We hope you enjoyed your Christmas break and look forward to a new 2017.

Our first meeting of the year is on Friday 13th!

Pat Squires will be our President for the next few months, at least, so let's give her all the support we can.

The theme of the January meeting has not yet been decided, so watch this space...

December meeting

At November's meeting, Jackie has decided that, after 11 years, she is standing down as President.
We are hoping that someone will step forward at the Xmas meeting, in order to keep the Dodford WI going.

The Christmas Party will be on 8th December.
The boys haven't been invited this year, so it's just all us girlies!
Hot food and entertainment provided.
Please come along girls and show appreciation for all the Committee members who have worked hard this year.

Don't forget to bring Santa's Socks with presents inside.
Bingo will be available on the night.

Bring the usual cutlery, glasses, etc, to save on washing up - especially as the dishwasher is out of order in the hall at the moment!

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!
