WINTER SOCIAL MONDAY 18TH FEBRUARY : G ADVENTURES!

Ladies, we have something completely different lined up for our next
get-together on Monday 18th February.....
Travel connects us — to our planet, to its people, and to ourselves. Wellness Travel was created to recharge the body and nourish the mind. The new Wellness tours offer the perfect balance of awe-inspiring destinations, rejuvenating activities, and healthy food experiences, combined with golf, helping you return home feeling even better than when you left.'
Come along and meet Kerry Anne who will be giving us an interesting insight into travel and wellness! 
Kerry Anne is travelling up from Glasgow to see us so we would encourage as many ladies  as possible to come along and support us  on Monday 18th February  - 10am for 10.30am.  It's sure to be an interesting and fascinating talk. Bring a friend, too, if you like!

WINTER SOCIAL WITH JEN SNEDDON 11/02/2019

We had a very interesting demo this morning from Jennifer Sneddon who showed us how she makes hand poured ceramics. Jen is a born raconteur and regaled everyone with  tales of how she  got started, disasters along the way, but finishing with  a display of fine examples of her work.

She very kindly brought along some sample pieces which some of us had a go at decorating. Jen will be exhibiting at the Association of Blairgowrie Craftworkers Spring Fare at the Town Hall on  Saturday 27th April.

Come on ladies, have a go!

Thanks again to Jo Stewart and Pauline Hill for organising the demonstration. Next week we have a talk on holiday ideas - some of which  you might never have considered! Details to follow...

WINTER LEAGUE 08/02/2019


The scene from the lounge this morning
There were NO takers for golf this morning due to heavy overnight rain, strong winds and flooding on the course. Play was not advised, so we settled for coffees and chat. A wise decision!

WINTER SOCIAL MONDAY 11TH FEBRUARY

The Get-together on Monday 11th February will be a talk by Jennifer Sneddon on  how she got started making ceramics. She will then give a demonstration on how she makes the ceramics and the different stages.  Jennifer explained it's too much much to expect ladies to paint anything as it would take too long.  The cheaper paints need a few coats to cover the bisque.  And, of course, she can't cart her oven  from her garage, where she fires the ceramics, to the Club!

She will, however  bring a box of odds and ends which anyone  can take away and paint at home, if they feel like having a go. 

Sounds like fun!  10.00am for 10.30am.
