A nearly full house of MHWI members enjoyed a fun Christmas meeting this week with a great session by Katherine Wright on sustainable present wrapping options. Members also had the chance to make their own bag from recycled papers such as wallpaper samples and old maps. Excellent fun and a great way to recycle even more. All this was accompanied by a lovely Dutch Supper and the launch of our program for the coming year – more details of this to follow shortly on this website.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and all the very best for a successful, healthy and content New Year!

The next monthly meeting is on 18th December – a week earlier than our usual slot.

To help us on our way to being organised for Christmas in true WI style, we will have a session with Katherine Wright about sustainable wrapping. We will also be having a Dutch Supper, so please remember to bring along your favorite dish and drink and don’t forget your own plate, cutlery and glass to avoid using single use plastic.

Our latest social evening was an entertaining Table Skittles evening at the Bull’s Head in Clipston.

Two teams fought hard to carry the game with some creative throws and near misses livening things up. Thankfully all team members survived unscathed and enjoyed an excellent meal together. Thank you Jan for organising this fun event – let’s make it an autumn tradition!

Fabulous talk about 1940’s fashion by Amy of Amy’s Vintage in Market Harborough at our last monthly meeting. Amazing examples of fashion, ‘make do and mend’ as well as a hair do demonstration was enjoyed by all our members. Thank you Amy!
