Clairvoyance evening success

Posted on by

Cystal ball-w500-h500A belated thanks to clairvoyant, Alison, from Australia, who met with Market Harborough WI members and visitors at the Angel Hotel in Market Harborough on 9 January.  After a delicious meal Alison demonstrated her clairvoyance skills.

Lynda Meadows, Prgramme Secretary says, “Brilliant night! Allison is a great medium and I have now seen her on several occasions. Alison’s bubbly personality and incredible ability ensures a relaxed and fascinating evening. Looking forward to seeing her again.”

WI member Tina Fortum and her daughter both attended, too.  Tina reports, “Both Gemma and myself thoroughly enjoyed the evening with Alison.  We found it not only fascinating but extremely enjoyable. She made everyone feel at ease when it came to personal issues. We would very much want to attend another evening with Alison if the opportunity arises.  We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending a medium evening with her to friends and family.”

BodyguardMarc ROWLEY, from Natural Self Defence, is the visiting speaker on 27 February.  Marc is based in Husbands Bosworth. His passion is teaching self defence using natural body movements not strength.
Using natural body movements that can be used in times of induced stress, you will be able to confidently repel attackers, intent on causing you harm, without the need to remember complex moves.
Marc has spent the last 12 years looking for self defence moves/techniques that work under fear induced situations.
A fun and informative evening and a chance to have a go.

Fun evening with Rosie Metaxa demonstrating Egyptian dancing

Posted on by

Rosie Metaxa entertained us on Wednesday with a demonstration of Egyptian dancing.  She began with a short, fascinating talk on the history and background of Egyptian dancing, supported with the opportunity to see and handle some beautiful examples of handmade costumes.  The bead work was exquisite, as you can see in the pictures below.

Rosie expertly demonstrated an Egyptian dance, then showed us some of the individual movements.  At that point, members had great fun having a go themselves.

If you want to have a go, then Rosie runs a number of classes locally.
