A Women's Institute group has celebrated its 75th anniversary.

The Dolfor Women’s Institute (WI) recently celebrated its 75th anniversary.

Joining them for the celebrations were Powys Montgomeryshire County Chairman, Mrs Ruth Hesketh, County secretary, Mrs Jane Rees, and past members (with one lady travelling from as far afield as Portsmouth) to attend.

President Mrs Hazel Francis welcomed guests and gave a short resume of how the WI was established in Dolfor in 1950, how the meetings were conducted, the outings and social life that took place.

Mrs Olive Jones, a long standing member, continued with her memories and events that had stood out for her over the years including the successes of dramas we achieved.



Old photographs and memorabilia were put on display to be enjoyed by all.

Refreshments were provided by members.

The celebration cake was cut by the president.

Our County Chairman proposed a toast and congratulated Dolfor on their success.

Dolfor WI continue to thrive and meet on the 2nd Thursday of every month at 7.15 at Dolfor Community hall.

A warm welcome is extended to anyone wishing to join us!

We are currently organising a concert by the Radnor Twurzles to take place in the Hall on Saturday Nov 29th at 7.30.

Tickets £12 to include refreshments.

Proceeds to MacMillan nurses and Dolfor WI.

Tickets can be obtained from members.
