Join us for a session of some very jolly Morris Dancing at our September 2026 meeting. We are delighted to welcome back local morris dancers Dacre Morris! This fabulous side (that’s the name for a group of morris dancers) are based in Lewisham and include several of our own WI members. They’ll be showing us some dances and then coaxing us up onto the floor to join them – don’t worry, they’ll teach us what to do and will provide hankies & sticks! Please do wear comfy flat shoes (and if you have anything red to wear, so much the better).
Join us for a tour of the Old Bailey, otherwise known as the Central Criminal Court of England and Wales, possibly the most famous criminal court in the world. The tour will begin at 10, so we will be meeting promptly at 9.45. The tour itself will last about 90 minutes and costs £12 per person.
The nearest station is City Thameslink and the Court is a short walk from both the Holborn and Ludgate Hill exits.
Emma, a graphic designer, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at 29 but has not let that prevent her from leading an amazingly busy life as a writer, artist, comedian, blogger and model. She shares her story on social media and campaigns to raise awareness about Parkinson’s. She also featured in the BBC2 documentary The Big Life Fix, where Microsoft’s Haiyan Zhang created a bespoke device to allow Emma to write and draw for the first time in years: https://www.emmalawton.co.uk/press
This takes place over the weekends 14th/15th and 21st/22nd November this year. We will be running our usual fabulous cake stall at our new venue in the hall at Brindishe Lee (where we hold our regular meetings) over both weekends but we can only do this with your invaluable help…….
We will need lots of cake to sell for our stall to be a success so this is a great chance to try your hand at being a star baker – all bakers are stars in our eyes!
Helping out on the stall is good fun too. It is a great way to help raise funds for the WI and also to get to know other members and meet the wider community too. We’re very grateful for all your help, thank you! And don’t forget we need visitors to our stall too, so do bring your friends and family for a slice of cake.
