March meeting review and what's in store for April?

By Clifton WI -

 March

One of our own members Gill Bridge treated us to an evening of wellness and relaxation including breathing techniques, face, neck and hand massages which went down very well along with the chance to try some products from Temple Spa.

April

We turn our attention towards two things in particular at our meeting on Weds April 27th - one is huge and somewhat daunting and one is more light hearted and fun.

Our speaker will be Nikki Jones from Wicked Weather Watch a charity set up by the explorer David Hempleman-Adams which works with school aged children on the topic of climate change.  

As Nikki says “Climate change is the defining issue of our time. Being able to really engage and inspire younger children to take action, however small, is not only vital, it is also so much fun!”

We want to confirm our plans to mark the Platinum Jubilee for Queen Elizabeth II.  We will be holding an Indoor Garden Party at our May 25th meeting.  The Committee have taken some steps to arrange a party but would always welcome some more great ideas from our members.

Any budding gardeners out there....?  

If you are currently sewing seeds, taking cuttings, dividing plants or generally getting busy with matters green: please could you keep some extras on one side for the May 25th meeting.  There will be a plant stall as our fundraising event and all donations will be welcome.  Anyone wanting to purchase plants seedlings etc please being your loose change and a plastic bag or two to grab a bargain!

Our last meeting was met with mild weather outdoors, but rather chilly temps indoors! The heating was broken in Alma Hall, but the beautiful church came to our rescue with a grander backdrop than we're used to for our monthly meeting. We had a lovely time catching up and discussing the resolutions, which led to a lively debate, and took the opportunity to shop at our book and regifting stalls. A special thanks to those who helped the evening go smoothly, despite the change of venue. Unfortunately, it appears February is going to turn cold once again! We had a little reprieve from winter, but it was not to last. So, we will have to keep warm together and listen to another wonderful speaker. On 28 February, we will host Claire Hiscock, Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner for Avon & Somerset. She will discuss their priorities for tackling violence against women and girls in our area. We will be meeting in our usual location, the rear hall of Alma Church, at 7.30pm. Visitors are a...
