Lowsonford Women's Club was formed over 70 years ago by a group of ladies who lived in Lowsonford.
Meetings
The Club's members meet from March until the end July and from early September to December every fortnight on a Wednesday afternoon from 2.30 pm until approximately 4.00 pm in Lowsonford Village Hall to have a cup of tea and a chat. The meetings are a good opportunity for members, mostly ladies of Lowsonford, to get to know one another.
Events
Throughout the year coffee mornings and various other events are held to raise money for local charities.
In July 2007 the Club arranged a members' outing to Coughton, which involved a pub lunch followed by a visit to National Trust-owned Coughton Court. Luckily this took place on one of the few days in July when no rain fell and members were able to take an enjoyable look around the gardens.
Also in July, the Club invited residents from Castle Froma, a home for disabled people in Leamington Spa, to visit the village hall in Lowsonford. This has become an annual event to which the residents say they look forward. As this year's visit took place on a sunny afternoon, the 8 residents and their 5 helpers were able to sit on the lawn by the canal and watch the boats go by. A few were taken for a walk over the canal bridge and along the towpath and, following ice creams and a chat, everyone returned to the hall for tea. Before leaving the residents received presents from a free raffle and were given posies (made by one of the Club's members) to take home. See photographs below.
The Christmas Sale always takes place in Lowsonford Village Hall on the first Saturday in December. There are always a variety of stalls selling new and first class goods, suitable for Christmas presents, as well as Christmas cards, wrapping paper etc and a 10p stall aimed at children.
