17 May: Comedy night with the fantastic Angie Belcher

Angie Belcher is a stand-up comedian, performance poet and actor. She’ll be coming along to give us her stand-up routine plus we’ll get to hear how she got into comedy.

Plus we have our usual WI business to catch up on including NFWI Resolutions, June’s DDG event, and an update on our clubs.

We will start at 8pm, but you can come along from 7.30pm to grab a drink. Please don’t come along any earlier as we are not usually ready and you may be required to help set up!

Our Next Meeting

AGM & Egyptology Talk

Tuesday 20 October

7:45 for 8pm

Our October meeting will include our Annual General Meeting (AGM), where members will be updated on the performance and finances through the Annual Report and Financial Statement. We will also be voting in new committee members and saying a big thank you to those stepping down.

Then we are very fortunate to have Ali Ball come and give us a talk on Egyptology. Ali is a co-founder of the Kemet Klub which organises online lectures with some of the best Egyptologists in the world and a committee member with the Egypt Society of Bristol. She loves to combine her experience as a primary school teacher with her passion for ancient Egypt to deliver KS2 Egyptology workshops.

We are asking members to please bring in donations for Family Food Action

Since it is Harvest Festival time, we want to support this wonderful charity based at The Ardagh. They suggest: cereals, pasta, rice, beverages, tinned food, and treats like biscuits and cereal bars. Since a majority of recipients are vegetarian or do not eat meat, they focus on meat-free food donations. They also welcome toiletries, such as nappies, sanitary towels, soap, shampoo and baby toiletries. https://familyfoodaction.org.uk

Please do come along. Visitors are welcome at a cost of £7.50.

If you are interested in any of our events, please email us for more information on info@gloucesterroadwi.org.  You can also check our out website www.gloucesterroadwi.org.
