Aaah - I miss it

Just returned, my eight year old nephew loved it. (As did I). Great family entertainment, bendy man was amazing, Lucius Troupe mesmerising/terrifying.

The next Honor Oak WI meeting will be on Monday 4th September at our new venue of The Honor Oak Pub (1 Saint German's Rd, SE23 1RH) at 1930 We will be in the conservatory area downstairs, and look forward to hearing from one of our own members, Christine, who will be talking to us about Garden Design. Looking forward to seeing familiar faces and welcoming anyone new or returning who wants to pop along!

Nunhead and Forest Hill both have WI groups - neither are far away.

The Honor oak group sometimes have guest speakers on a variety of subjects: fan museum, aromatherapy, history of playing cards, genealogy, local history. We sometimes have craft demonstrations and have a go: dry felting, block printing etc. We sometimes try new activities - Morris dancing, Nordic walking, crown green bowls, creative writing. We have also had cheese/wine and beer tasting. We have a monthly book group, hold stalls at local fairs etc. A very varied and interesting programme!

The St Christopher's group is open to anyone and is free as far as I know. Further details are here: http://www.stchristophers.org.uk/social-programme/quilting
