The BFWI "Denman Doll's House"
This model of Denman College was made in 1996 by the late Judith Youl who was a member of Downley Evening WI. It was used to promote the WI within the county but as it is very fragile now, it is only brought out on special occasions. Elizabeth Dinnage (L) and Paddy Thomas were two of the original team making accessories for the model. This included items that reflected some of the course topics at Denman such as bread making, food preservation, desktop publishing, model making, sport, art, painting and calligraphy.
Messages from the heart
Here are some eulogies from BFWI members writing to us in lockdown, Summer 2020, about the proposed Denman closure. These were first published in our September "Bucks News".
History
Each Federation sponsored a room at Denman. Buckinghamshire maintained a twin bedded room for a guest and a carer. As a residential college, Denman offered over 70 bedrooms on site. All of the rooms were ensuite and came with complimentary toiletries. There were a number of accessible rooms as well as those with twin or triple beds. At the end of 2020 Chairman Pat Poole and Trustee Linda Nicholls collected "our" belongings from our Denman room with heavy hearts
