100 years of the WI
To honour this milestone, Dorewood requested the bellringers of St Giles' Church, Main Street, Balderton to ring a quarter peal.  The peal, Southwell Surprise Major, started at 4:15pm and lasted 40 minutes.  Dorewood member and campanologist, Beryl Reed (arrowed) took part in the ringing.
