January news.....
We hope that you have all had a lovely Christmas and New Year break. It seems a long time ago since we last met in the hall, getting a bit messy with Laura Humpage from Colourful Minds. We hope that the cards and gift tags we made were put to good use.
It is normal for a new year to inspire us all to be a bit healthier and focus on our wellbeing during the dark and cold winter months. So for our first meeting of 2019, we are delighted to be welcoming back Shelley Jones of Shelley Jones Reflexology and Reiki. Shelley is a professional reflexologist and Reiki practitioner with almost 20 years’ experience in Complementary Medicine. She has a home practice in Knowle as well as providing treatments in several workplace settings.
Shelley will be talking about the origins of Reiki, its practice and providing a brief demonstration. She will also be introducing us to ear Reflexology and the chance to pair up and try it on a friend. If you would like to have a go, you may want to bring along some hand cream/moisturiser and a hand towel.
If you have any unwanted Christmas presents, please bring them along and we will raffle these off to raise money for future meetings and outings.
As it is the start of the year, it is time for membership renewals. The membership fee for 2019 is £42. As part of this membership you get 11 meetings per year including 1 summer outing, a monthly copy of WI Life, WI member benefits and a book of handy vouchers when you join. It’s helpful for existing and new members to arrive a bit earlier so we can start the meeting on time. Payments can be made in cash and cheques payable to Malago WI.
We look forward to seeing friends old and new on Wednesday 30th to celebrate the start of another year of exciting events.
