Coming up in October
Our walk, the monthly meeting, and our coffee morning
Our monthly walk: Saturday 10th October
When: 11.00am
Where: Meet at
City of London Information Centre
adjacent to St Paul's Cathedral
Thanks to Christine for her suggestion for this month's walk.
We'd planned to discover more about the City of London when the heat wave hit so we had a number of "walks" in cafes and cooler destinations.
This month we'll meet at The Tourist Information Centre adjacent to St Paul's and then decide to walk the introductory trail to the city or try out one of the more specific trails, as suggested by Christine this year's sculpture in the city trail.
The visitor centre has copies of all the trails to help our decision on the day.
Monthly meeting - Thursday 15th October
Time: 7pm for 7.30pm
Where: Usual venue; St Margaret’s House
Mosaic making
We have a "hands on" meeting this month when Alison's sister joins us and will lead a workshop in making mosaics. She sent us this about herself.
Lucinda Denning is a Fine Artist,
she paints in her Tooting studio painting in oil and acrylics on canvas and paper, or using 3D materials like clay, plaster, or fabric to construct figures.
She will often incorporate visual elements gleaned from plants, fabric and costume into her
pieces (often dressing her imagined characters in luscious coloured and patterned garments),
She has always loved colour in her work both in its simple form and in juxtaposition with other
colours.
The life of an artist is fairly solitary and for a bit of contrast Lucinda does some occasional work
as a film extra.
Our monthly coffee and catch-up:
on Friday 23rd October
Time: Meet between 10.30 and 11.00am
Where: Ahaba
All Hallows Church Bow.
Thanks to Bridget for this month's coffee suggestion
Why is our cafe called Ahaba?
Words have meaning, some words give life,
As well as containing the initials of our church name, ahaba is also a Hebrew word for love. Cream tea for £5.
Campaign news
The main WI campaign issue for the coming year is to secure better access to public toilets, since 2020
50% of public toilets have been closed.
This impacts upon a number of groups, not least women of a "certain age".....!
One suggestion is to "map" provision in our local area,
If you'd be interested in being in a sub-group looking into this please whatsapp Sally on the WI whatsapp group.
