We’re certainly living up to our  President’s strap line, ‘Bigger and Bolder’, this year.  We’re delighted to hear that MHWI members are trying out new things.  Member, Tansy Tilly, says, ‘I believe there are now 5 of us volunteering to help keep the tubs tidy on St Mary’s Rd for Harborough in Bloom.’

‘As I work at Homebase I asked if they could help us out with a basic starter kit. They have kindly donated all this. Keep your fingers crossed for good weather on Friday when the kit will have its first outing! Tansy x’

‘Fantastic! Thank you so much! This has really made my day.’ confirms Clare, our President.

We also need new pants.  Next time you buy some, pick up a spare pack, too. These can be for children aged 3 to 15 years or womens’, sizes 8 to 16.

Bring them along to a monthly meeting in February, March or April.  We’re collecting for Smalls for Africa.  We’ll be sending off our collection after the April meeting.  You can also speak to Vicky Watts at the next monthly meeting or email: marketharboroughwi@gmail.com
