Over the past year the committee members have worked very hard to provide a baby clinic within the WI hall (as there is no longer a baby clinic offered at the doctors surgery in South Milford)

This clinic has been a fantastic success and is such a great way to meet other mums with babies and toddlers as well as having your baby weighed by the Health Visitor at the same time!

There are toys, play mats and other children's equipment which makes this a great place for your baby or toddler to have fun whilst you have a chat with friends.

The Clinic is solely run by volunteers so if you feel that you could help out one afternoon any help would be greatly appreciated.

The hall offers a range of facilities to the local community, it is used both day and night for a range of activities and can be booked for your children's' birthday party...
