Please contact committe for booking form which County would ask you to complete and return as soon as possible. COFFEE MORNING
This is a monthly event meeting outside the New Vic on the first Wednesday of the month at 10.00am. All members welcome. Although this is a 'just turn up' group, the committee is looking for a member to take on the role of organiser, with the idea to trigger interest again. CYCLING GROUP We have a new interest group in WeyBay.
A cycling group. The group will meet on
either a Tuesday or Wednesday morning, the ride will vary but will be approximate
12 miles and will stop for a coffee break. This will be weather dependent. The cyclists must wear cycle helmets and bright clothes/coats and if possible, bike lights as the rides will include some roads. E-bikes are fine. Weymouth is surrounded by hills, but cyclists can always push their bikes. No-one is excluded from the group. Details have been given out by email or make enquiries at the WeyBay meetings. WALKING FOR SOFTIES GROUP The annual WeyBay walk organised by Marissa Ronzitti will link with the softies group for September - details to follow. BOOK CLUBS WeyBay supports three book clubs. They meet regularly to review the suggested books - and enjoy a good chat with other members. Ask at the WeyBay meeting about joining one of these groups - or setting up your own. Book club report: We are the third book club and call ourselves " Book Cover Girls. We meet at The George Pub on the quayside once a month, but during the summer months when the town is busy we try to meet at other places, one favourite is Delicious in St Albans St. We enjoyed tasting and hearing about different gins and food and we just about managed to fit in the discussion about our latest book read!!! The book club is a good excuse to get together to have a chat and discuss books that have been chosen by the members which we probably would not have looked at ourselves. We've just read 'The Last Hours' by Minette Walters (local author) set in June 1348. The black death enters England through the port of Melcombe in the county of Dorsetshire. We found this more interesting as it was so local to us. A couple of other books we've enjoyed are 'Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine' by Gail Honeyman and 'Winter Soltice' by Rosamunde Pilcher. We're now reading 'The Elephant Whisperer' by Anthony Lawrence. All worth searching out if you're looking for a good read!   WEYBAY LUNCH AND SUPPER CLUB The WI lunch club meet every month. We are quite a large group, but not every member turns out each month. There is a rota, so each member takes a turn in choosing a venue. We have had lunch or supper at some very nice pubs and restaurants. Anne O'Neill started the ball rolling with lunch at the Ship Inn on the harbour. Subsequent venues have been Cote in Dorchester, the Kings Arms in Portesham, the Balti House, the Nothe Tavern, The Springhead Sutton Poyntz and the Cove Inn Portland. So far we have all enjoyed meeting up and having a good chat with members who we wouldn't usually talk to. It's been a good way of making new friends. There are about 30 ladies on the current list, which is now closed. In June, by which time we will have been meeting for a year, ladies can decide if they want to stay in the group. If some pull out, we will have room for some new members to join.
