May news....

We hope that you enjoyed our April meeting. It was so lovely to focus on ourselves with the Alice Barclay who lead us through a very tranquil Iyengar Yoga session.

The trial of the space in the Tobacco Factory went very well. It may take a few meetings for us to get everything running smoothly, but it really is a lovely, relaxing space. Therefore, we will holding our monthly meetings there from now on. As a reminder, please enter the building through the Raleigh Road entrance (the same entrance as the theatre) and use the lift or stairs to go to the second floor. Committee members will be there already to make sure you find the room.
 
This month we will be getting crafty with Louise David, Luliloves. Louise is a screen printer, surface designer and abstract painter - passionate about colour and fascinated by mark making. Louise works intuitively with ink, squeegee, fabric and whatever else turns up, no household object is safe.
 
Louise will be helping us to create some simple decorative papers with pencils, sharpies, and watercolour pens. Then folding them using a Turkish map fold. Using repeated shapes allows us to focus on the rhythm, slow down a little and relax. The folded papers can be fixed together or glued into a cover for a book structure or unique ‘card.’ 
 
As a reminder, please pay your membership fee if you haven’t had a chance to do so. Membership for 2025-26 is £51, and you will be able to pay by cash or bank transfer (BACS). We'll have the bank details available on the night. We also welcome guests at £7.
 
We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 28^th.
