November news....

 

Thank you to everyone who join us to add festive sparkle to our salt dough decorations. We all agreed that we loved glitter and sequins!
 
Our November meeting will be the last of 2024, but we are going to use it to celebrate another fabulous year of Malago WI.
 
We are delighted to be visiting the Bristol Beer Factory Tap Room to learn about this community focused brewery and taste some amazing beer.  Please arrive at the Tap Room for 8pm, we will get a ½ pint and then head into the Studio. We will hear about Bristol Beer Factory and Brewed to Give – their community programme that is investing £100k in local charities/groups this year alone.
 
We will then enjoy a mini-beer tasting experience, being walked through a few of their cask beers. 
Once finished, we are welcome to stay longer and grab another pint.
 
We are delighted with all the amazing decorations made at our last meeting. These will form part of festive creations we will be selling at BS3 Community Festive Market (Southville Centre) on Saturday 30^th November. But we still need your help!!
 
We have a number of decorations to sell but would also be selling sweet treats. If you are able to make some fudge, or other treats that will last, we would be grateful.  You can either bring them to the November meeting or the stall on the day as we can bag them up.
 
Here are some recipes to inspire you!

We still need volunteers to help on the stall.  We have a few shifts that still need filling.  These are 10am-11am, 2pm-3pm and 3pm-4pm. If you can help, please email wearemalagowi@gmail.com.
 
We really hope you can help in our fundraising efforts which will help us to continue to offer an exciting range of speakers and outings next year.
 
Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday 27^th!

Last month, we had a delightful visit to Ruby Hue at Finzels Reach, where we learned about sourcing the best cacao to make amazing chocolate (which was absolutely delicious). 
 
This month we return to the hall, and we need your help. As part of our fund-raising efforts, we have a stall at BS3 Community Festive Market (Southville Centre) on Saturday 30^th November. We plan to sell salt dough decorations, crochet decorations and sweet treats.
 
Please join us to embellish our salt dough decorations and have a go at crocheting as well. Please bring a crochet hook if you have one. Materials will be provided and in return there will be chat, tea, and cake.
 
We are looking for volunteers to help on the stall on 30^th November. The market runs from 10am to 4pm, so even if you could help for an hour, it would be greatly appreciated. There will be a sign-up sheet at the meeting.
 
In addition, will be providing some recipes to take home to make sweet treats that we can sell.
 
We really hope you can help in our fundraising efforts which will help us to continue to offer an exciting range of speakers and outings next year.
 
Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday 30^th for some Christmas crafting!
