Get your heels out ladies! Doe Demure, performer, instructor and Skytribe Dance Studio owner will be leading us through an interactive dance class at our monthly meeting next Wednesday, 22nd November 2017.  She will take us through various walks, routines and burlesque pin-up poses.

Doe advises that you wear clothing that you can move in and, if possible, a pair of heels you are comfortable walking in.   If you wish, you are most welcome to dress up with gloves, stockings, bustles, etc.

Sounds like a really fun evening so come and enjoy and do what ever feels comfortable for you!

A great night was had by all at the MHWI Cocktail Evening held at the Waterfront Restaurant, Market Harborough on Wednesday, 8th November 2017.     Members were shown how to make and sample (of course) a variety of cocktails, as well as enjoying delicious platters of food.

Also, welcome to our recently elected President, Anne Clayton, shown below.   It’s great to see that Anne is quickly developing a taste for her new role!
