Happy International Women’s Day! Join us for our March meeting and hear from Kyra Bond from Womankind, our nominated charity for 2021
Belinda Kirk from Explorers Connect will join us at our next meeting to talk about skippering the first women to Row Around The UK. To date no other women have achieved this and only 11 people on the planet. Its now evolved into the toughest rowing race in the world. The theme of her talk will be about the importance of risking failure and pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone.
Belinda launched Explorers Connect, a non-profit organisation connecting people to adventures in 2009. Over 10 years she has encouraged over 30,000 ordinary people to discover a world of outdoor challenges and established Britain’s National Night of Adventure #wildnightout2020
Kate from May The Folds Be With You will give us a demo of Book Folding.
Book Folding turns pre-loved books into art by cutting or folding individual pages.
Get your pencils and paper ready
For August’s meeting we welcome the very creative and super sketcher Zoe Murphy aka Margate Girl to run a live drawing workshop with us.
We’ll hear a bit about Zoe and then we’ll start the workshop. You’ll need pens, pencils and some decent paper to work on.
Do you have a masterpiece hanging on your walls? A family heirloom you’ve always wondered about?
For July’s meeting we welcome Lisa Lloyd, Antiques Expert
Lisa will talk to us about all things antiques and select five member treasures to assess and discuss — just like on the Antiques Roadshow!
For May’s meeting, we have something pretty special planned. We welcome record-breaking adventurer Sarah Outen to our zoom!
