Anna will talk to us about female boxers in 18th Century Britain and attitudes to women in sport. The Fair Fight is set in Bristol and is being made into a film. So come and hear her speak before it hits the big screen.
We hear from FoodCycle on, what is food waste? why it matters? and what we can all do to help to reduce food poverty.
This month we’ll be hearing from Diana Penny one of the yoga teachers from our local YogaWest. We’ll hear about the basic principles of yoga with demonstrations of some of the techniques.
It’s that time again, membership renewal and the chance for new members to sign-up to join. For further details, costs and membership forms please see Being a Member.
We’ll also have all the WI news and what’s happening over the coming year. As well as a talk and demo on aromatherapy.
We’ll have the wire wreaths and a selection of fabrics, but if you have some fabric at home you’d really like to use then please bring it along, it needs to be at least 10-12 cm long.
Here’s a tutorial to get a head start and for inspiration take a look at our Pinterest board.
We look over the last year with our annual report plus we welcome the new committee for 2016-17 (yes luckily we had some members sign-up!).
After the AGM we will start the swishing, so please bring along your unwanted ladies clothes, accessories, jewellery and shoes for swapping.Â
(If you are not sure what swishing is, it works like a giant clothes swap; you bring items you no longer wear and exchange them for something new.)
This month we hear from Jackie Evans & Jane Morris from the Bristol Alexander School.
This month we are back at our usual venue and we’ll have members’ demonstrations and short talks.
We’ll have a demos on how to fix a flat on the rear wheel of your bike, making paper flowers, first aid, help with your kids homework and much more!
The party takes place at The Chimp House on Glos Rd and starts at 8pm. BBQ and bar, with entertainment and reminiscing!
Remember this is a change to the original advertised programme. We swapped June and July.
