We had a such a lovely time at Farahaway Café making macramé plant hangers at our last meeting. Some of us have already caught the bug to make more!
Our November meeting will be the last one of 2021. As a change to our normal meeting day, we will be getting together on Monday 22nd November for our long awaited special private Theatre Walk with Sheila from Show of Strength Theatre Company for an historical tour with a difference. Show of Strength have re-booted their amazingly successful and highly acclaimed theatre walks for the autumn/winter season, and we are delighted to invite our Malago WI members to join us for "Blood and Butchery in Bedminster".
"Bedminster — where graves were robbed by body snatchers, and corpses buried in concrete coffins. Where the old Chinese laundry vanished years ago, and where ‘laundering’ now means money, big money, 13 million, ‘laundered’ through a Bedminster bank. Where criminals were sentenced to hang in public, their cadavers flayed, their skin tanned and made into……the answer is in BLOOD AND BUTCHERY IN BEDMINSTER".
We'll begin at The Ropewalk, 5 Nelson Parade on Bedminster Parade Bedminster,BS3 4JA meeting at 7:30pm and end at The Hen and Chicken, where those of us who are thirsty can stop for a drink and some pizza and those of us who wish to take their leave can do so. The tour will last approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.
This event is free for members and spaces for guests are available at £5.
In 2021, we have been able to offer WI membership at a reduced rate, forgoing the Malago WI portion of subscriptions. To enable us to offer an exciting face to face programme in 2022, we need to do some fundraising. With Christmas almost round the corner (sorry), we are excited to take part in a Christmas Fair at Bristol Distillery on Malago Vale Trading Estate, St John's Lane. The Fair is on Saturday 4th December 12pm to 4pm. We will be selling cakes and crafts. We need volunteers to make cakes (lemon drizzle cake, rocky road, brownies, biscuits) and help at the stall. This is going to be a real family affair and we are excited to take part in a community event and promote our wonderful Malago WI. If you can volunteer in any way, please contact wearemalagowi@gmail.com
We look forward to seeing you on Monday 22nd November at 7:30pm!
