Clubs & Societies
Christ Church Dore Ladies Group
Venue: Dore Parish Church Hall, Townhead Road
Meetings are held at 7.45pm on the first Tuesday of the month. Membership is open to all women both from the local churches and the wider community and visitors are always welcome. The Ladies’ Group provides a valuable link between church and the wider community welcoming women of all ages for fellowship, talks, presentations, visits out, social and occasional fundraising events at our monthly meetings. Friendship and supporting one another is an important part of a group like ours. We have time after each meeting to socialise with old and new friends and get to know newcomers to the village or group.
