Doxey Youth Club

The founders of the Doxey youth club have done an excellent job in getting it started against all the odds and turning it into a great success. They now need more adult helpers to ensure further expansion and improvement. If you can spare a couple of hours on a Monday night and are willing to help then, for more information,

ring Nigel on 07974 755 685

Mikron

Once again the parish church was filled with laughter and applause as the Mikron Theatre Company performed what many believed to be their best play yet. ‘Mrs. Brunel’ did much more than simply report the achievements of the famous engineer. The cast, with wit and pathos, recreated his life and achievements and in the process provided excellent entertainment.

Stafford Film Festival

Many Doxey people were involved in the Stafford Film Festival, particularly the filming of the history of the park. The film will be shown for FREE at Stafford Gatehouse Theatre, 7.30pm on October 9th. For more information on the film festival please contact Stafford Borough Council.
