Well, let me start with a big Happy 6th Birthday to Malago WI!
It’s really been 6 years since this lovely little branch of the WI began to grow – have you been with us since the start? No? Well it’s never too late to jump on board.
If you’re not a fully fledged Malago WI members, October is the perfect time to change that. New membership opens so you can register for 2015 for £36 and you will get the last 2 meetings of 2014 for free, so come, join us, we’ve so much great stuff planned.
Last month the serious topic of personal safety and awareness was delivered in a fun and practical manner by Andras Millward from FAST Defence. Simple skills to take forward through everyday life, others that we hope we won’t ever have the need to use – Set, knee!
However, on to our October meeting, we’ll be getting crafty once again making a variety of star decorations.
We’ll have several demonstrated star crafts, including origami, crochet and sewing as well as committee made decorations ready to be embellished. These will go towards our entry in toTreefest and for selling on our stall at the Windmill Hill City Farm Christmas Fair on Sunday 14th December – more on that next week!
We’d love you to bring along any of your own ideas that fit the star decoration theme if you’d prefer to ‘freestyle’, or maybe you’re a dab hand at a craft that adapts to our theme and you could share with us – contact us if that’s the case!
We have a fairly decent supply of stuff, but it’d be really helpful if you have anything you could bring to use or share such as gel pens, glitter glue, paint pens, odds and ends of fabric, felt and wool, paper – and if colours are glittery or festive, then so much the better!
Also, please bring a crochet hook if you fancy having a go at crochet stars – we don’t have enough of those to go round.
This is going to be a lovely informal meeting, in which everyone will be able to produce a few star decorations using a variety of techniques, and enjoy a good chat with fellow members and of course enjoy a slice of cake because we’re also celebrating the 6th birthday of Malago WI!
In addition to all of those goings on, we’ll also be unveiling our first, bespoke, designer Malago WI tea towel – you’ll be able to get your orders in first to beat the rush when they go on sale at the Windmill Hill City Farm Christmas Fair.
Finally, for those that are already Malago WI members and would like to get a bit more involved, we’d love to have some more of you joining our committee - as someone once said, teamwork divides the work and multiplies the success, so who’s up for it?
See you all on Wednesday,
