February 2026
Congratulations to us – 60 years old!
I hope most of you will be able to attend on 10 February and help us celebrate our Diamond Anniversary. Don’t forget to reply to the invitation. We will have a raffle but no sales table or books.
January is often a dreary month weather wise, but worry not, soon the first signs of spring will arrive and more sun, lots more sun please.
Twenty-one of us went to the Oxford Operatic Society’s production of The Sound of Music in January. Wow, what a show! Later this year the Operatic Society is putting on something different at the Oxford Playhouse, Songs from the Shows. There will be two dates only, 3 and 4 July. More information to come.
We welcome Marga as a new member this month.
If you haven’t been to an Oxfordshire Federation of WI’s annual meeting yet, do give it a go. This year’s meeting is on 25 March. It’s a good day, with lots of interesting stalls as well as good speakers.
