Night out at the ballet to see Giselle
Are you free on Wednesday 6 April? Several members of the MHWI committee will be going to see this evening broadcast at the Savoy Cinema, Corby. We thought it would be a natural follow on from the March monthly meeting on The Royal Opera House where Annabel Smith’s daughter will be coming up from London to give members a peek behind the scenes to find out more about the design and production of the costumes and scenery.
If you would like to meet up before the performance at the Savoy then go ahead and book your tickets. Just let Clare, Carmen or Annabel know before the 6th April so they can look out for your group.
Are you free on Thursday evening, 10 March?
If so, there are 2 tickets left for MHWI members to attend the WI Welland Annual Group Meeting in Caldecott (who are hosting the event this year). There will be supper, a speaker talking about the life of a Royal butler) and brief updates from all WIs in the Group. If you would like to join some of your Committee members on the 10th, email: marketharboroughwi@gmail.com or speak to Isabel (Secretary) at the monthly meeting on 24 February.
