October news...

We would like to say a big thank you to local interior designer Hannah Redden for inspiring us to use colour in our homes in a confident and interesting way.
 
This month, we have a meeting of two parts.  Firstly, our lovely member Carmel, will be talking to us about the work she does for Alive.  Alive is one of the UK’s leading practitioners of meaningful activity for older people. Working within care homes and the wider community, the charity runs a variety of services and innovative projects to bring activities, support, dementia-friendly gardening opportunities and intergenerational connections to older people, those living with dementia, and the people that support them.  This includes community projects such as the South Bristol Dementia Friendly Allotment in Knowle.
 
Following this, we will pit our wits against one another at the Malago WI quiz night! There are certainly some competitive members amongst us, so get your thinking caps on!
 
We will be upstairs, on the second floor of the Tobacco Factory which will be signposted from the theatre entrance.  Committee members will also be on hand to direct you.
 
We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 29^th October.

September news

It seems that summer has left us and what better way to say fare well to the warm weather than with a visit to a beautiful cider apple orchard and tasting delicious Branch cider.

 
This month, we return to the cosy Tobacco Factory where, local interior designer Hannah Redden will be joining us for an inspiring one-hour talk all about making our homes feel more “us.” Her session, “Designing with Colour and Confidence”, will explore how to bring personality into a space, how to choose colours you’ll love for the long term, and simple ways to make a house feel both stylish and welcoming. Expect plenty of down-to-earth tips and ideas you can take away and try at home.
 
Hannah studied at the Glasgow School of Art and has called Bristol home for nearly 20 years. She runs Hannah Redden Interiors, helping families across the city create homes that are practical, personal and full of character. She also teaches at the Bristol Folk House and is passionate about supporting Bristol’s creative community.
 
We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 24^th September.
