The following letter was received today. Email Leslie if you are interested.

Dear all at the WI

 I am emailing on behalf of David Pugh and Dafydd Rogers who are the theatrical producers of The Girls musical based on the Calendar Girls.  You may remember me from last year when we recruited a choir of WI ladies to sing with Gary Barlow and the cast of The Girls musical on the Royal Variety show.

 I’m getting in touch again with another opportunity which I hope you’ll think exciting!

 We are touring the show to theatres around the country from August next year and we’re currently designing the poster for our marketing campaign.  The idea of the poster is ladies posing ‘nude’ in a field, cleverly painted so they disappear into the backdrop.

 So I’m emailing to see if any of the ladies at your WI would be interested in being a model for our shoot.  We are looking for 6 women of a variety of ages and body shapes for this.  Although it will appear as if each lady is nude, the models will be able to wear some discreet underwear if they want to which we can paint over.  The idea of the shoot (and the Calendar Girls story) is a celebration of women, being brave, baring all and having fun.

 If you have ladies who would be interested in this, I need the following information:

 Name

Age

Dress size

Hampton Village – Christmas Lighting Up

Sunday 3^rd December

The General Meeting tomorrow (Nov 14^th)  is our last meeting prior to the Christmas Lighting up event.

Due to newly imposed trading restrictions, we do not have the correct paperwork to sell home produce this year, so sadly no cakes or jam.  We will be limited to fundraising games and activities
and will run our very successful and popular jar tombola.  For new members the jar tombola is decorated jars filled with a small gift. We had all sorts in jars last year, Inc. sweets, pencils and small candles, so use your imagination.

Please bring what you can to the meeting.  Filled jars, empty clean jars, and items to go into jars.

We will also circulate a rota for help at the event.

If you wish to join us at Richmond College’s excellent Merits Restaurant for our Christmas meal on Tuesday 5th December please let us know at Tuesday’s meeting. We have limited places reserved so it’s first come first served.

The meal is excellent value at £18.00 for three courses. Please pay online or bring cash/cheque to the AGM on Tuesday. Thank you.

You will need to pre-order so take a look at this year’s menu by clicking here : christmas menu . We will start to take orders on Tuesday. Thank you.
