The FaB WI enjoyed a super talk by Heather from Medical Detection Dogs at our first face to face meeting of the year. It was wonderful to be back together and to learn about the trully amazing skills of both bio-detection and medical alert dogs. Heather brought her dog Edward along to demonstrate some of the techniques used by the dogs, and he was beautifully behaved througout.

WI members contributed to a generous collection in aid of Medical Detection Dogs after the talk.

Thank you so much to Committee Member Pauline Warner and her husband Bob for hosting a successful coffee morning in aid of The Fab WI. Members and friends attended despite a blustery morning and sales of cakes plus a tombola raised a fantastic £379 for WI funds. The boost to our funds is very much appreciated after the difficult COVID period. Thank you to everyone who attended, baked and donated prizes.

All welcome at the first open-air meeting of the year on Tuesday 11 May! Meet at 6.15 for a 6.30 start at The Tolsey on Burford High Street. All clues are within Burford itself and the event will be a great opportunity to see other WI members face to face for the first time in 2021. Members free, non members welcome at £4.50 each – please let Jane Arnell know gjaarnell@icloud.com if you plan to come along.

We are delighted to announce that our President, Frankie Fowkes, and her husband Dan welcomed baby Logan to the world on 1 February 2021. Both Mum and baby are doing well after Logan arrived 5 weeks early.

The FaB WI are all looking forward to plenty of cuddles when rules permit in the Spring.
