Monthly Meeting – Wednesday 26th June 2019 – Social Evening with Food and Drink!

Posted on by

Glass bottoms

Change of plan for this Wednesday’s meeting.   We are not having a cookery demonstration.   As it’s our last meeting prior to the Summer break in July, we thought it would be a lovely idea to have a summer social instead.   So, we will be providing the wine and cheese, you just need to bring your plates and glasses!

Our social evenings are a great opportunity to get to know your WI colleagues a bit better and make new friends.

Please remember we do not have a monthly meeting in July.    However, there are still social events happening:

Saturday, 6th July – Ladies’ Day at Leicester Racecourse (for those of you who have booked your tickets).

E-mail Ann:   murphyann43@aol.com

Monday, 8th July – the Book Club are going out for an Italian meal at Casa Nostra, 13 Adam and Eve Street, Market Harborough.   The only topic we will be discussing is food and drink!  We would love other MHWI members to join us – just contact Valerie first so we know what size table to reserve:

E-mail Valerie:   vhitchcox50@hotmail.com

All our clubs will be running as usual during July.  Look out for individual postings about these in due course.

Next Wednesday Louise Brooks will be coming to talk to us about all the materials and methods she uses to make many different styles of hats.   Hopefully, we will come away inspired with ideas for those special occasions that pop up at this time of year when a hat might be required, such as summer weddings.   Also, don’t forget you might need a hat if you are joining us for ‘Ladies Day’ at Leicester Racecourse on 6th July!

Trip to Barnsdale Gardens on Friday, 17th May 2019.

Posted on by

Just a reminder that is our trip to the delightful Barnsdale Gardens near Oakham this Friday.   There are 38 individual gardens to see so hopefully we will collect lots of inspiring ideas for our own gardens.   We will be doing a self-guided tour so you can go at your own pace!  Their popular tea rooms are open for light lunches or snacks throughout the day.   Most people spend an average of 3 hours there.

Entrance fee is £9.50 per person – pay on arrival.   It is about a 40 minute drive, so car sharing is encouraged.   We will be meeting at 11.30 am just near the entrance kiosk.

If you have any queries about the trip, then e-mail Tricia at:

triciablake@msn.com
