Diptford's branch of the Women's Institute closed in April 2024, and the Ladybirds has replaced it.
Diptford's ladies' group meets on the second Monday of every month in the Parish Hall at 7.30pm (2pm from October to spring). We are a very friendly bunch of ladies who laugh a lot and enjoy ourselves and like nothing more than going on outings which usually involve food or drink!
During our meetings we usually have a speaker, who can be on any number of topics, sometimes involving us hands on. We have a WhatsApp group and an e-mail group where we keep in touch with each other, often offering help with things like collecting prescriptions or even asking when the bin men are coming!
Every lady in the village and surrounding area is very welcome. Come and give it a try and make some new friends. We would love to meet you.
You can just turn up, or contact:
- Pat Sampford on (01548) 821 419
- Juli Worms on (01548) 821 141
Membership of the Ladybirds costs £25 per year, visitors are welcome to come along for £5 per session.
