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 30th 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 27th!
