November update

We're over half-way through November, and Christmas will soon be upon us! Our November activities have reflected this, both at Craft Club and our monthly meeting.

British Museum visit
To start the month, on Saturday 4th November we visited the community preview of the new British Museum exhibition, I am Ashurbanipal, King of the World, King of Assyria, which we highly recommend! As a reminder, all members can attend these free previews, usually held the Sunday before an exhibition opens to the public, it's one of the perks of being a LWEWI member!



Craft Club
Our penultimate craft club of the year was held on Tuesday 6th November, where we combined the crafts of origami and card making to make these fab Christmas cards! More information about Craft Club is on the dedicated blog. Next meeting is Tuesday 4th December, when we're making christmas decorations for the tree.



Monthly Meeting
Our last monthly meeting of the year was held on Wednesday 21st November, when Geraldine Beskin of the Atlantis Bookshop gave us a fab talk all about the dark side of Christmas, complete with lots of gory detail! 







There's no December meeting, as that's the night of the St George's carol service (Wed 19th December). All members are of course welcome to attend the service, and as ever we'll be providing the congregation with mulled wine and mince pies after the service, email us for more info if you'd like to help out.

We'll be back in the new year - Craft Club will be on the second Tuesday of the month in January, and our monthly meeting will - hopefully - be led by some herbalists. Watch this space for more information!
