W.I. Poppies

This beautiful display of poppies made by Broadwindsor’s W.I. next to the village shop will be dismantled this weekend.

The idea grew from the ladies of the W.I. wanting to observe Rememberance Day with a display of poppies for their garden.   They were made from the bottoms of plastic bottles that were cut, melted and painted red to looks like poppies.  A small group of them got together and made 103 in total to signify the end of World War 1.
John Staff kindly made the frame for the display.  Hopefully, residents of the village have enjoyed them as much as they enjoyed making them. 🙂

W.I. meetings are usually held at the Comrades’ Hall, Broadwindsor, DT8 3QP (normally upstairs in the Lewesdon Room), on the third Thursday of each month, normally starting at 7.30pm. Members begin to arrive around 7.15, and the meeting would normally finish about 9.30pm.

Their membership year runs from January to January, and the usual membership fee is normally £44.00. However, due to Covid restrictions, the fee is half-price at present, £22. If you are not sure if the W.I. is for you, why not go along as a visitor free to one of their meetings?  Just contact them to let them know you are coming!  Email: broadwindsorwi@gmail.com
