It’s just £10 per stall: marketharboroughwi@gmail.com There will be a small charge for each stall. You can also let a committee member know at the monthly meeting next week, the 24th.
More details will be given out at forthcoming monthly meetings. But, in the meantime, Get Crafting!
Canary Girls by Mikron Theatre
Make sure you put this date in your diaries. The fabulous touring Mikron Theatre will be here again at 7.30 pm in the Congregational Church, Bowden Lane with their new show Canary Girls. If it’s as good as Raising Agents last year, it will be brilliant.
Details of how to buy your tickets will be available soon.
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.
Hopefully you have paid your subs for 2016 but, if not, they must be paid by the 24th, our next meeting date (we have to follow the NFWI regulations on this one). Cash or cheque are fine or, better still, bank transfer. Click for full details.
We are delighted to announce that £500 raised from our highly successful film evening last November and our Christmas raffle (so generously supported by a whole host of local businesses) resulted in a cheque being present to VASL (Voluntary Action South Leicestershire).
The money is to go to a new project, called Community Champions, where volunteers not only befriend local people but also work with them to support them to take part in community activities, leaving a sustainable outcome for all concerned. Diane Claridge, MHWI member, and employee of VASL accepted the cheque.
If you would like to know more about volunteering for the Community Champions project or about other volunteering opportunities in the areas, go to VASL’s website for more information and contact details. You could also speak to Diane at the next monthly meeting.
Just updated – you will be amazed at what’s coming up in our ‘Bigger and Bolder’ year. And there’s more in the pipeline! Just follow the link.

‘I really enjoyed the first hobby night meeting, starting to make the bunting and having a chat. Thanks all,’ says MHWI member, Tansy Tilly.
Knitted mice to be made by MHWI hobby group
‘We thought it would be fun to make/ accessorise the mice at the next hobby night, Thurs March 3rd. The knitting can be started ready for stuffing at the meeting, or little accessories got together to decorate if you prefer, or just turn up and do what you fancy on the night.’
We look forward to seeing the finished mice for sale at our craft fair in the Old Grammar School on Saturday 16 April.
Tansy has shared the instructions, too. Instructions for little knitted mouse
