For your enjoyment….

 What is happening for us this week?

Monday - 2pm meet at Broadsands for a walk with your dog. You are all still very welcome to come if you don’t have a dog! Walk ends with a cup of something warming at the café!

Wednesday - 2pm Institute meeting at the Cricket Club. All members + invited guests to hear Robert Hesketh’s talk about ghosts! Remember to bring all the things! (Check your email!)

Painting session!

 Tuesday 25th February 6.30 until 9.15 pm. £20, it will be a painting on canvas, which will be varnished for us afterwards! Please let me know asap whether you are in or can’t make it! Mark will give a demonstration and then guidance throughout. 

It’s WI Time!

 Emails have been sent to each one of our members today…..I hope! I must admit to have been in a kind of tangle with it, so it may be that some may receive more than one, and others nothing at all. Apologies! Please let me know if you haven’t received an email from Brixham WI today! (I know, how are you going to realise if you didn’t get the email? Fingers crossed your good friends might tell you!) 

Here it is, anyway! 

Hello Brixham WI!

At January’s meeting we voted to continue supporting the Yes!Brixham food bank. Please bring your donation if you wish.

Our next meeting is on Wednesday 19th February at the Cricket Club, 2pmstart.

We are looking forward to hearing Robert Hesketh talk about Myths and Ghosts! We originally booked him to speak one October - but for whatever reason it didn’t happen!

We will be asking for your ideas and thoughts about our plans and programme for next year, so please come prepared to share what it is you would like from our WI.

Diary dates to note: Monday 17th 2pm Broadsands car park - dog walk (You can join in even if you don’t have a dog! - all welcome!)

Wednesday 26th February craft afternoon: an introduction to the Life on the Edge project and making a scandi woven heart. (Please bring scissors for paper cutting!)

Also! Please bring your name badge, mug, 50p for tea & biscuit, 50p for a raffle ticket and a flower for the competition. 

Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday,

Brixham WI Committee

Time for some fun? - update!

More info from Mark about or proposed painting session (still no date as yet!):-

“My suggestion would be that we take one of my Brixham sunset paintings as reference and I demo techniques and guide everyone through that process so it's a tutored (but very fun) session and everyone will produce a piece that they will be really proud of.

 We can do them on a canvas and I can varnish them and then deliver them up to you”

If you are interested in an evening of painting at the Mark Bell Artist shop in Bolton Street (opposite the Birdcage), arranged just for our WI members…please let me know.

Take a look at their Facebook page, or drop in to the shop, and you will see that they organise evenings that anyone can turn up to. The next ones are 28th Feb and 7th March, you would need to sort that out for yourself.

We have 17 people so far, and the maximum number Mark can take is 16. I guess there will be at least one of us who can’t make the date he suggests!

Another brilliant idea from All on the Board

 Make a note in your diary for this day 2026. We will do it! Each and every one of us is invited! 

With a few more ideas for 14th Feb - we could easily manage Cafentines Day at the Berry Head Hotel! 

What’s On?

Everything is happening for us on Wednesday this week!

Green Scandinavian Heart

 Here is an idea of the heart we will be making at our craft session on Wednesday 26th Feb, alongside the introduction to our Life on the Edge launch event. Ours will be green, rather than red!
