We welcome Professor Ronald Hutton from Bristol University to talk about Village Magic and Witchcraft. Find out more about his work on his Wikipedia page.
It’s time for the AGM, new committee members are sworn in and we have a review of the past year.
We also have a talk and demo from our local female butcher, Amy from Dave Giles on Gloucester Road.
A Bangra Drumming workshop this month and back at our usual venue, St Andrew’s Bowling Club on Derby Road.
Please be aware this is going to be a noisy session as we’ll be hearing a demo and having a go with the drums.
Back to crafts this month as we take on the classic 1970s trend of macramé. Ali will be taking us through the steps to make a hanging indoor plant holder.
We’ve revamped our competition to win a Denman Bursary. We want you to celebrate women in any way you like. So it could be about yourself or any woman – family, colleague, famous woman – who inspires you.
So get your creative hats on. You could write a poem, or a short story, or perhaps create a painting or photograph. There are no fixed categories so feel free to use any other imaginative craft you can think of. Let’s see how creative our WI can be!
We have three prizes: First prize is £200 and two follow up prizes of £100 for you to spend on a course at Denman. The deadline is the October meeting for judging, with the winners being announced at the quiz in November.
