July Monthly Meeting
Due to illness our speaker for July had to cancel the handbell session we had planned. However, our President Claude was able to step in at the last minute to lead us in a wonderfully relaxing reflexology session where we learned how to carry out a healing hand massage on each other.
Soho Village FeteEarlier this month we also had a trip to the Soho Fete. We saw some Morris Dancers - who will be coming to a meeting next year - watched a snail race, watched a dog show and saw the firemen of Soho beat the policemen of Soho in a tug of war. It was all round good fun. The one thing missing we felt was a really good cake and craft stall... so we will be emailing the Soho Society and asking about our attendance next year.... watch this space. In the mean time here are some photos of our day.
A reminder of what we have coming up
August 17 - Walk and talk around St Giles looking at the haunts and history of Charles Dickens and his relationship with the area. Jane Palm-Gold will be leading the way.
September 21 - British Sign Language taster session with Lindsey.
Lindsey has been signing for 11 years having passed both Levels 1 and 2 in BSL (British Sign Language) whilst supporting hearing impaired students in a high school. Now a Sensory Support Officer with Deafblind UK, Lindsey has a wide range of experience of working within a Sensory world. Lindsey will take us through the BSL alphabet, some BSL ‘etiquette’ and factoids and can even teach us how to sign Jerusalem!
October 19 - Calligraphy - a remote session with Jane
Jane will run through the ‘history of calligraphy’ and show us a few scripts and will guide us through a few styles that we can practice. All we need to bring is some paper, pencils and pens. If you would like to buy a kit that's fine too. We will be meeting in the hall for this although there may also be an option to join remotely from home. |
