This group was formed over thirty years ago, as a friendship group
for women in the village of Wadeford and surrounding hamlets. The
group’s name derives from the River Isle flowing through the
village, with its source on the lane to Scrapton. Meetings are
held on the first Monday of each month at Wadeford Manor, Wadeford, starting with brief business
matters for the group, followed by a speaker or entertainment and
then coffee.
Topics over the last two years have included bee
keeping, cheese tasting, water divining, belly dancing and a local
butcher’s reminiscences. All Isle Group gatherings are informal
and friendly, allowing members the chance to get to know others
from the village. Husbands and partners of group members have
recently formed a separate men’s supper club, but are also
included in some activities and celebrations. The group is well
known for its charity fundraising.
Further information about the group can be obtained from Nanette
