                WODL Travelling Festival and Reunion Gala 2023


                The WODL Gala Committee and WODL Board are very excited to invite you to attend the WODL Festival and Reunion Gala 2023 at the London Armouries Hotel on May 19-21, 2023 ending with the WODL AGM 2023 on Sunday, May 21, 2023.

                When we meet in May, it will be more than four years since the last WODL Festival (March 2019) – the longest interval in WODL history (including World War II).
                We moved to London so that we could accommodate more attendees cost effectively and have our traditional evening parties.

                HOTEL ROOMS

                There are two types of rooms available: one is a King Suite at $179.00 per night and one is a double queen at $159.00 per night. We have been assured that rooms will continue to be added to the blocks, providing they are available. 

                You will find the information for your online reservation link below. Please book your rooms as soon as possible as they are moving quickly.

                Special Pricing ends on May 12, 2023
