We are pleased to be holding this meeting postponed from February (see poster below). Let’s celebrate our womanhood and tap into our sensual, sexy, risqué sides, and possibly giggle like schoolgirls, to make burlesque style tassels.  Bunny Lestrange will be giving us a tutorial and hopefully talking a little about the history of burlesque.

At all meetings

Meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month in the Crypt at St Peter’s Church, De Beauvoir, starting at 7.30pm.  Sisters take it in turns to serve delicious refreshments, including tea and cake, wine, and assorted snacks from the kitchen.  Meetings are free to members, or only £5 for guests (price includes tea/coffee and cake).  Come and join us for a chance to catch up with friends old and new.

Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Parade

The Jubilee celebrations held on Friday 3rd June went really well. See a selection of photos below. Thank you to everyone who came along to help set up and march. It was a marvellous day and lots of fun was had.

Some of us also got together for some knitting to create a royal yarn bomb which was installed on top of a letter box.
