February news...

 

What a great way to start the year with an insightful and though provoking discussion with Jenny Harrison looking at what we can do to help the environment.

This month is one for chocolates lovers!  We are delighted to welcome back Zara from Zara’s Chocolates who will talking about all things chocolate and letting us sample some of her indulgent delights.  A lifelong chocoholic, Zara completed the École Chocolat Professional Chocolatier Programme and then began experimenting in her home kitchen.    Zara’s chocolates have been a presence on North Street since 2013.  Keeping production on a small scale and making everything by hand, in-store in an open kitchen, are central values for Zara's Chocolates.

Thank you to everyone who brought unwanted gifts to our January meeting. We will raffle them at this month’s meeting to raise funds for your Malago WI.  We can take card payments, but please feel free to bring cash.

Just as a reminder, the Lionesses will be playing at Ashton Gate on Wednesday 22nd so traffic may be busier than normal, and parking might be a bit tricky.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 22nd.

 

Happy New Year from Malago WI.  We hope you have an enjoyable festive season.

It seems a very long time ago that we met for festive crafting and mince pie tasting.  A great time was had by all.

The dark nights and the terrible weather can make it very difficult to come out this time of year, but why not join us to kick our exciting programme of events for 2023 this January.  The last few weeks have demonstrated how our climate is changing.  We are delighted to welcome Jenny Harrison, who is passionate about environmental and ethical awareness.  She has volunteered as a Greenpeace speaker since 2019 and will talk to us about current environmental issues and how we can do our little bit to make a difference.

Some of you may have received some gifts that you would like to ‘re-gift’ so please bring them along and we will raffle them to raise funds for your Malago WI.  We can take card payments, but please feel free to bring cash.
Members will have the opportunity to vote on this year’s resolutions to go to the AGM later in the year.  This year, the proposed resolutions are:

1. Save our water – every drop matters
2. Women to women – turning over a new leaf in the lives of women tea workers
3. Online gambling harm: time for action
4. Clean rivers for people and wildlife

If you are unable to attend the meeting, you can send you vote to us by email.

We now will be meeting in the main church hall which will give us much more space.  When you arrive, please come through the main entrance.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 25^th.
